Carl Hansen & Son adds furniture designer Børge Mogensen to its portfolio of major Danish designers with his elegant Hunting Table With the presentation of the Hunting Table, designed by Børge Mogensen for an exhibition in 1950, Carl Hansen & Son embarks on yet another fascinating journey through the history of Danish design. The table is the first of several significant designs by the great Danish designer that Carl Hansen & Son will be adding to its extensive collection of Danish furniture classics.
Børge Mogensen is known as one of the great and influential furniture designers from the period known today as the Golden Age of Danish Design. As a student of Kaare Klint, one of the most important standard-bearers for Danish functionalism, he picked up the baton for the expression of functionalist style. One of the many examples of Mogensen's practical approach to design is his Hunting Table from 1950: a design that exemplifies Mogensen’s era while remaining relevant and contemporary today. Originally designed for the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Furniture Exhibition – which that year explored the 'Hunting Cabin' theme – the table is now being added to Carl Hansen & Son's collection, which also includes Kaare Klint, Hans J. Wegner, Poul Kjærholm, and many other of the greatest Danish designers.
"The Hunting Table is the first of a number of Børge Mogensen designs that are now becoming a natural part of the Carl Hansen & Son collection. Aesthetically, the table is a perfect match for our portfolio of design classics. Moreover, Mogensen's strong affection for wood and his keen eye for quality craftsmanship and details are also completely in line with our design philosophy," says Knud Erik Hansen, CEO of Carl Hansen & Son.
