Relive the home of Børge Mogensen
Mogensen’s principles of design played a huge role in the building of his own home.
He believed that furniture should create a sense of tranquility and have a modest appearance that encouraged people to live their lives unpretentiously. While he was exacting in his design approach, his idea of a home was to be informal and welcoming.
Iconic designs developed in his “laboratory”
To test his designs before they were approved for production, Mogensen also created prototypes in the “laboratory”, which could be found in nearly every room in the house. When a new chair or sofa arrived, the whole family would help “test” them. The children would jump on the sofas, play around on the chairs and the entire family would sit on the dining chairs for their meals. If the designs were strong enough to endure everyday life with his kids, Mogensen would consider them “approved”.
