Børge 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 tranquillity 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.⁠ ⁠ Mogensen’s house was home to some of his most iconic designs. In fact, many of his well-known pieces were constructed to fit perfectly into that particular house. The renowned 2213 sofa, designed in 1962, was the pride of his living room. Placed next to the sofa were two of his Spanish chairs, designed in 1959.⁠ ⁠ #fredericiafurniture #børgemogensen #borgemogensen #spanishchair #2213sofa #danishdesign #interiordesign #designhistory #børgemogensenhome #modernoriginals #craftedtolast
