Teak and Oak Desk by Børge Mogensen, 1960s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A very large Danish desk constructed from an elegant combination of teak and oak wood, reminiscent of Borge Mogensen and Kai Kristiansen's style.

Thanks to its unusually large size and double-sided workspace, the desk could be used by two people and would also be perfect for an office hosting guests or clients.

The desk features a working area on the left side containing three drawers of varying heights, one of which locks with the original key provided. Above the drawers, there is a pull-out shelf that can serve as an extension of the desk's surface..On the right side, cross-mounted legs create an X-shaped design, adding visual interest. Along the long edge of the desk, two open shelves provide additional workspace. The furniture's stability is ensured by a support rod.

About the Creator

Børge Mogensen

Designer Børge Mogensen was born in Aalborg, Denmark in 1914. He studied furniture design at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts under esteemed Professor Kaare Klint from 1936–38. Next, he studied at the School of Furniture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1938–41, where he also served as Klint’s teaching assistant. In 1942, Mogensen became head of design at the Danish Consumers Coöperative Society (FDB). He opened his own design office in 1950, and was one of a handful of designers who helped define and popularize the "Danish Modern" design style.

Mogensen’s aesthetic was clean and highly functional. He was driven to create affordable, practical designs, and his preferred material was wood. Clients included Fredericia Stolefabrik, Fritz Hansen, and Søborg Møbelfabrik, among others. Notable projects include Spokeback Sofa (1945), and Spanish Chair (1959), as well as a variety of shelving and storage designs. He was honored with the Eckersberg Medal in 1950, the annual prize from the Copenhagen Carpentry Guild in 1953, and the C.F. Hansen Medal in 1972.

Mogensen passed away in Denmark in 1972.
