Carl Hansen BM0253 Shelving System Configuration 3

Manufacturer: Carl Hansen & Søn | Designer: Børge Mogensen, 1953

Configuration 3 brings the BM0253 system into smaller spaces - six narrow 79cm shelves stacked on a compact 4-piece leg set, designed for rooms where a full-width run of shelving would feel too heavy. Designed by Børge Mogensen in 1953 as part of his 'building furniture' concept, the system was brought into production by Carl Hansen & Søn faithful to Mogensen's original vision: tubular steel uprights, FSC™-certified oak or walnut shelves, and a modular logic that lets each configuration stand on its own or grow over time.

Configuration 3: Compact Open Shelving

A compact, entirely open configuration built from six narrower 79cm shelves - ideal where wall space is limited or a lighter visual footprint is needed. The 4-piece leg set keeps the system low and grounded, while the uniform shelf width gives it a clean, considered rhythm. No cabinet, no doors: just open display across six levels, with the steel frame doing the structural work quietly in the background.

Well suited to a study, hallway, or bedroom where a full-width run of shelving would feel too heavy - and a natural starting point for a system that can be extended over time.
