A handcrafted approach to an

industrial dilemma

In 1950, Børge Mogensen introduced the

prototype of the Søborg Chair. His fusion of

functionalism, expertise in cabinetmaking

and use of new production techniques led

to a remarkably simple chair that could be

manufactured industrially.

Merging his signature love of solid wood with

his new-found passion for plywood shells,

Mogensen crafted the Søborg Chair with soft

rounded corners and gentle lines in a timeless

design that appears light yet solid, with an

ample-sized seat and back to ensure

endless hours of comfort.

It is a handcrafted approach to an industrial

dilemma that highlights the textural properties

of solid wood, plywood and later steel, in a

subsequent version for the frame.

The Søborg Chair remains a favourite for its

simple, unimposing presence. A chair that’s

equally at home in any modern environment.
