Perfect for a wide range of interior spaces, the BM29 Desk Shelf is an example of Borge Mogensen’s complete mastery of material and proportion.
One of the defining figures in the Danish modernist movement, Mogensen transformed everyday objects by stripping back extraneous detail and focusing on the essentials. The double desk shelf features slender rails and brackets, combined with a low-profile desk and shelves that provide a spacious workspace.
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.
