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

It all began in 1902 in the small East Jutland village, Stouby, with a few hundred bucks, a half leather skin, a chaise longue frame and a little canvas. That’s all Stouby’s founder, Marius J. Blirup, needed to take the first step. Although the conditions were modest and the funds small, the creator’s urge for furniture was great. Marius Blirup quickly established himself as a diligent exhibitor at the annual Recurring Trade Show – the internationally recognized trade fair for Danish industry and crafts.
