Danish furniture designer Børge Mogensen designed the Deck Chair Series in the late 1960s as a response to his personal need for functional and comfortable outdoor furniture that occupied the minimum of space. Practical and flexible and with carefully crafted details, the BM5868 Side Table in untreated, FSC®-certified teak profiles a simple design based on wooden slats. The sturdy, yet lightweight frame makes it easy to move around, and the foldable design requires the minimum of storage space – making it ideal for spontaneous gatherings when the sun comes out.
Børge Mogensen (1914-1972) was one of the most important furniture designers of his generation. Having started as a cabinetmaker, like many other designers, he developed into an accomplished furniture designer who created functional and affordable furniture for the everyman. Mogensen studied at Copenhagen school of Arts and Crafts from 1936-1942 under the watchful eye of Kaare Klint as his mentor. After completing his studies he initially went on to work with Klint, from whom he learnt to produce simple and functional furniture. Later on, Mogensen also succeeded his former mentor as designer at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Copenhagen when Klint died in 1954.
