Mogensen Borge
Mogensen Borge
Borge Mogensen was born in 1914 in Aalborg, Danemark.
He was one of the most important among a generation of furniture designers who made the concept of “Danish Modern” known throughout the world. Together with colleagues such as Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner, Mogensen created international respect for Danish furniture design, and his simple and functional designs have for more than half a century enjoyed worldwide demand.
Mogensen was a prolific furniture designer, exhibiting almost every year at the Copenhagen Cabinetmaker’s Guild Exhibitions. He was also the Head of Furniture Design during the 1940s for the Danish Cooperative Wholesale Society. His furniture, strongly representative of his training as a traditional craftsman, was greatly appreciated by a public who had not yet become interested in modernism and the changes its influence had created on furniture and the decorative arts.
He died in 1972 in his homeland, Danemark.
