Børge Mogensen

 Denmark (April 13, 1914 - October 5, 1972 )

Børge Mogensen – nicknamed the People’s Designer – was one of the most influential designers in Danish Modern Design. In 1950 he started his own design studio, borrowing inspiration from various cultures and styles, such as Japanese carvings, and historic works while using locally sourced materials. Mogensen is most famous for designing shelves, side tables, chairs and armchairs.

Manufacturer

Fredericia was established in 1911 as Fredericia Stolefabrik (Fredericia Chair Factory), by entrepreneur N. P. Ravnsø, who successfully led the venture until his death in 1936. From the very start, Ravnsø wanted his new venture to be known for extremely high quality, and throughout his tenure, he hired only the most skilled craftsmen – something that quickly lead Fredericia Stolefabrik to become renown for its high quality furniture in various styles. The Ravnsø family owned and operated Fredericia Stolefabrik until 1955.
