Simultaneously reassuringly rustic and effortlessly stylish, the BM1106 Huntsman Chair epitomises Borge Mogensen’s ability to transform humble natural materials into interior design classics. Endlessly refined by the talented artisans at Carl Hansen & Son, this updated design features contemporary touches that enhance your interior spaces.
Rooted in 19th-century hunting and campaigning furniture, the design of the Huntsman Chair features iconic buckled straps that tension both the seat and backrest, allowing you to adjust the chair to suit your needs. Metal brackets allow the backrest to pivot, moving with your body to provide maximum comfort, whatever position you choose to sit in.
Over time, the leather and wood will acquire a rich patina, taking on the character of your space and becoming an enduring part of your home. Mogensen’s genius lies in his ability to create these authentic and timeless pieces, encapsulating both past and present in a single object.
Borge Mogensen (1914–1972) started his career as a cabinetmaker in 1934.
In 1936 he went on to study at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts under Professor Kaare Klint before entering the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from where he graduated as an architect in 1942. He became head of design at FDB (the Danish co-op) in 1942 before establishing his own design office in 1950.
