| Love the Artworks |
I thought it might be nice to look at the Danish Designers currently featured at the Pop up shop, it's all good to admire the singular chair, sideboard or table but a greater appreciation comes from learning more!
These
images are of his home! Nice!

Børge Mogensen (1914–1972) started his career as a cabinetmaker in
1934. In 1936 he went on to study at the Copenhagen School of Arts and
Crafts under Professor Kaare Klint before entering the Royal Academy of
Fine Arts from where he graduated as an architect in 1942.
He became head of design at FDB (the Danish co-op) in 1942 before establishing his own design office in 1950.

| Everything!! |
Functional is the word which best describes
Børge Mogensen’s design. The
majority of his furniture was designed with industrial production in
mind and is characterized by strong and simple lines. His true genius is
to be found in his almost scientific analysis of the functionality of a
piece of furniture.

| Wood paneling love! |

| Perfect blue! |
If I had my choice I think this chair, the Shell Chair, 1949, made by Erhard Rasmussen from teak and beech would be a nice addition to Manor Ouch Flower!
:P
Stunning. What a gorgeous, gorgeous house. What an inspiring designer.
ReplyDeleteI love wood paneling and light-filled rooms and bricks and brown leathered chairs. And Scandinavians.
Thank you for this post.
I love the Mogensen home...and I totally covet the Poul Henningsen light over the table.
