1958-2018. The Spanish Chair Designed by Borge Mogensen Celebrates 60th Anniversary
The Spanish Chair is Borge Mogensen’s most recongnised design. A Scandinavian interpretation of furniture born from ancient Islamic culture, Mogensen drew inspiration from a trip to Spain in 1958 modernising traditional shapes he saw, while retaining important features like broad armrests.
By designing The Spanish Chair Mogensen proved that he did not need to use steel or plastic to be innovative like many designers of the period. Strong and masculine in character, quality leather and oak ensure that the chair ages beautifully.
