Søborg Chair 3052 by Børge Mogensen

The 'Søborg' series marks a moment in the history of Danish furniture architecture, when design and modern techniques culminate and open up new dimensions of carpentry. The chair is the result of a trip to MoMa's international design competition 'Low-Cost Furniture' in 1948, where designer Børge Mogensen was introduced to moulded veneer. In 1950, the Søborg chair became a product of this new technology, and without letting go of its characteristic love for tradition, the seat was made of moulded veneer, combined with a frame in solid wood. Soft shapes interact with a nonchalant expression that, depending on the viewer's angle, is slender or full in its appearance. With well-considered proportions that ensure a comfortable seating experience, the 'Søborg' chairs are a classic in both the modern and traditional home. In model 3052, the chair is complimented with an upholstered seat and backrest in exclusive fabrics and leathers that add texture and contrast, adding further comfort to the chair.

The 'Søborg' series is available in a wide range of leathers and fabrics, which can be combined with frames in different finishes. If you would like to design your own 'Søborg' chair, please feel free to contact us by email or phone.

• Base in lacquered and oiled oak or oiled walnut with backrest and seat in matching moulded plywood. Seat and backrest with CMHR or HR foam, upholstered in desired textile or leather. Supplied with standard plastic slipper, with option to purchase felt slipper.
• When cleaning oiled wood, a mild solution of soap flakes or a cleaner for oiled wood surfaces is recommended. New oil must then be added to prevent the wood from drying out.
• For cleaning varnished wood, a mild solution of soap flakes or all-purpose cleaner is recommended. Then polish with a dry soft cloth. Never leave liquids on lacquered wood surfaces as this may cause the lacquer to delaminate.
• When cleaning soaped and treated a soft cloth, heavily wrung in a mild solution of soap flakes. Always wipe in the grain direction of the wood. Never use water on untreated wood surfaces if it can be avoided.
• Original design by Børge Mogensen, produced by Fredericia Furniture (1950)
