Borge Mogensen (1914 - 1972)

The Spanish Chair is Børge Mogensen's masterly interpretation of a traditional type of chair often found in areas influenced by ancient Islamic culture - from Andalusia to northern India. Mogensen drew inspiration from a trip to Spain in 1958. He modernised the shape, eliminating the elaborate carvings while retaining the important feature, the broad armrests that give the chair character and provide a practical place to put a glass or cup. The combination of oak and butt leather gives a strong, rustic appearance. Reference Fredericia Furniture.
