About Borge Mogensen (Denmark, 1914-1972) Borge Mogensen is one of Denmark's most representative furniture designers, alongside Hans J. Wegner and Finn Juhl.
Mogensen, who sought beauty by eliminating unnecessary decoration and streamlining structures, studied under Kaare Klint at the Furniture Department of the School of Design, the predecessor of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He continued to learn design from Klint as his assistant. At the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, he became deeply interested in Klint's design methods and ideas, which placed emphasis on the structure of the human body, but while Klint designed furniture for decorative and elegant places, Mogensen specialized in designing furniture for the general public and furniture that could be easily mass-produced.
After completing his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker in 1934, Mogensen then began to study furniture design formally, working simultaneously in the design studios of Kaare Klint and Mogens Koch until 1942, when he was appointed chief designer for the furniture department of the Danish consumer cooperative FDB, where he designed high-quality, affordable furniture for the general consumer market.
His works were always designed for the masses, and many of his pieces were particularly functional and durable among Danish modern furniture. He continued to pursue the simplification of the structure of furniture design and craftsmanship that required human hands in the details. He is known for designing simple, easy-to-use and durable furniture based on Shaker furniture.
