Product description
For sale:
Børge Mogensen coffee table in solid and treated oak. Model 262, produced by Fredericia Stolefabrik, is one of the very first coffee tables designed by Børge Mogensen. This makes it unique and rare! The first designs by Børge Mogensen were given a model number starting with No (number) and then the model number. This can also be found on this coffee table. Presumably the coffee table was designed in the late 1950s, in the early years of the collaboration with Fredericia.
The Danish furniture company Fredericia Stolefabrik was founded in 1911 by N.P. Ravnsø in the port and industrial town of the same name. In previous years, this city had hosted the most important Scandinavian design fair, the Nordic International Furniture Exhibition. The company and the city continued this practice until 1983.
In 1955, the Ravnsø family sold Fredericia to Andreas Graversen, an interior designer involved in the Danish design cooperative FDB. His first decision was to appoint FDB studio manager Børge Mogensen as chief designer.
During his association with FDB, Børge Mogensen worked with Hans Wegner to create furniture collections that were modern, functional and affordable.
Børge Mogensen (1914-1972) was a Danish furniture designer and a key figure in the Danish Modern movement. His functional, minimalist designs, such as the Spanish Chair and J39, combined durability and comfort. Inspired by Shaker and Japanese design, he used natural materials such as oak and papercord. His timeless furniture remains iconic and sought-after.
The coffee table has been polished and set in an appropriate Danish oil. Then again well polished. The coffee table is in almost pristine condition, with little to no user marks. The top has received an additional protective coating.
Asking price: 895 euros.
