Description
Børge Mogensen is one of the most renowned figures of 20th-century Danish design, whose work contributed significantly to the golden age of Scandinavian design. Mogensen’s work reflects the simplicity, functionality and respect for quality materials that have become the guiding principles of modern Danish design. Throughout his career, Mogensen, a proponent of “Danish modernism”, combined the ideas of minimalism and industrial design with traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship. The Teak Rolling Highboard is an iconic piece of design from the era, combining simple forms and sophisticated details. The high-quality teak material, which often recurs in Mogensen’s work, not only has aesthetic value, but also ensures extraordinary durability and timelessness of the furniture. The roller doors offer a practical solution while maintaining the elegance and minimalist form of the piece of furniture, and its special feature is that the top drawer contains a fold-out mirror, so it can be used not only as a dressing table, but also as a desk with a pull-out table section. The soft, natural wood surface and clean lines reflect Mogensen’s philosophy, which focused on functionality and beautiful, yet practical design. Mogensen’s work forever changed the approach to furniture design.
