One of Mogensen’s masterpieces

Andalucia was the backdrop of inspiration for

one of Børge Mogensen’s many masterpieces

– The Spanish Chair. While travelling through

Spain, he observed an ornate chair with wide

armrests, a traditional style involving Spain’s

medieval form of furniture construction.

The chair was launched in 1958 as part of

an innovative living space exhibition at the

Copenhagen Cabinetmaker’s Guild, where all

tables were removed from the floor to create

an open living area.

The wide armrests serve as a practical place

for a glass, allowing the user to dispense with

occasional tables or other furniture. In doing

so, he achieved a more open and informal

space for relaxing and conversing.

The Spanish Chair has quite a strong

presence, with its solid oak construction and

sturdy, high quality leather. Over time, as the

leather expands, the adjustable straps can

be tightened. Allowing you to sit securely

and comfortably from day one – and for the

rest of your life. One of Mogensen’s most

celebrated designs, it reflects his unique

angle on modernity.

A classic found in corporate settings,

hotels, galleries and private residences

around the globe.
