Earthy informality

Canvas teamed with wood define a more

casual, down-to earth lifestyle in this structural

chair with a strong presence by Børge

Mogensen.

Reflecting values all the more relevant today,

given its broad width that allows people to

merge work and play in comfort. The Canvas

Chair exemplifies Børge Mogensen’s talent

for functionally-driven designs with a focus

on simple forms that capture the essence

of an idea. With nothing to add or subtract.

Drawing on his preference for natural materials,

Mogensen used flat canvas as the seat and

back suspended between round pieces of

wood, together with his trademark use of

horizontal and vertical lines for the frame.

The result is contrast and a remarkable sense

of balance. Although it was designed in 1970

as a reaction to flashy furniture from the

1960s, The Canvas Chair takes on even more

relevance today, given its earthy informality

and honest materials. Boasting an unadorned

authenticity which modern audiences find

especially appealing. Prime European oak

and linen canvas are both available in black

or natural coloured versions, with an optional

loose seating cushion in canvas or leather.

One of the last pieces Mogensen designed

before his untimely death in 1972, The Canvas

Chair has remained in our archives ever since

– until now.
