A sturdy design with ever-enduring character, Mogensen’s methodology for the chair was inspired by medieval Spanish furniture construction, a technique later used for his future designs. The solid brass buckles give the Hunting Chair a rustic charm, allowing the seat to become fully adjustable for maximum user comfort. The unique combination of materials creates a special patina, only to become more stunning with time.
An iconic showpiece that will be sure to take centre stage in an interior space, The Hunting Chair is a striking embodiment of the timeless nature of working with natural materials in design.
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.
