Mid-Century Danish Teak Desk attributed to Børge Mogensen, 1960s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A rare and well -preserved teak desk from Borge Morgensen. It is the coveted model 130, which is provided with a larger drawer on the left.
The desk is in good used condition with age -related signs of wear (see pictures).

The teak wood is in very good condition. We reworked it and has very few signs of wear (see pictures). Unfortunately, part of the table bale broke away with the rear left leg, at the top of the fastening (see pictures). Nevertheless, the table is stable, also thanks to the new hexagon screws, on the inside of the table frame.

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.
