As a loyal pupil of Kaare Klint, Børge Mogensen designed furniture that was simple, democratic, and built to the human scale. His work for Søborg in the 1950s marks a transitional phase between his tenure at FDB Møbler and the founding of Fredericia Stole‑& Møbelfabrik in the 1960s. Pieces from the Søborg period are notably rare and highly regarded.
This chest with secrétaire is constructed from teak, and set on an oak frame. The fall‑front flap on the top drawer reveals a space for writing, using a laptop and to store stationery. Its functional design recalls Mogensen’s ethos that pieces should ‘live, rather than simply sit.
The patina demonstrates a history of use and mindful care. The handle profile is beautifully simple.
Height 86.5cm / Depth 46cm / Extended Depth (with desk extended) 84.5cm / Width 100cm
