Børge Mogensen designed the BM1160 Hunting Table for the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Furniture Exhibition in 1950. Available in a wider version to accommodate larger social gatherings, the table combines excellent woodwork with elegant metal brace bars, creating a bold and organic whole.
Cabinetmaker and designer Børge Mogensen (1914-1972) created durable and simple furniture with a focus on people and is today regarded as one of the most influential representatives of Danish Modern. With a mission to make quality furniture accessible to everyone, Mogensen became known as “the people’s designer.”
Classic Design with Modern Proportions
The BM1160 Hunting Table was made by Børge Mogensen. The name refers to the “Hunting Cabin” theme of the Guild’s exhibition, a detail which is also reflected in the table’s robustness and wood-focused design. Mogensen’s Hunting Table is available in the original size and with a wider 95cm tabletop, adapted by Carl Hansen & Søn to allow space for larger dinner parties. Furthermore, the table is constructed for frequent use with rounded corners and edges in solid wood, which reveals Mogensen’s passion for democratic and accessible design. Stability is ensured through the use of two diagonal brace metal bars connecting the tabletop and frame with an aesthetically pleasing effect. Further detailing, such as the mortise and tenon joints on the legs manufactured in contrasting wood, accentuates the table’s handcrafted expression.
