Bringing the beauty of craftsmanship to the outdoors
Referencing the simplicity of Shaker furniture, with clean lines and functional details, Børge Mogensen’s foldable Outdoor Table was designed back in 1971. Rediscovered by Carl Hansen & Søn, the iconic designer’s outdoor table and bench set is reworked to modern sensibilities, yet remains true to the spirit of its original design. Set on a sturdy but elegant wooden frame, graphic slats create a durable and decorative tabletop perfect for impromptu outdoor gatherings. Crafted in untreated FSC®-certified teak, the durable design withstands wear and weather conditions to age gracefully over time, acquiring an elegant silver-grey hue. Pair with the corresponding bench to create a set that neatly stows away when not in use.
Table dimensions: 72 cm (height), 78 cm (width), and 194.5 cm (length). Bench dimensions: 44 cm (seat height), 44 cm (width), and 170 cm (length).
Width: 1945 mm
Depth: 780 mm
Height: 720 mm
The furniture is made of solid, untreated, FSC®-certified teak tree. The channel-stitched bench cushion is made from Sunbrella fabric. The loose cushion is fitted with straps for fastening onto the bench
Børge Mogensen (1914-1972) was one of the most important furniture designers of his generation. Having started as a cabinetmaker, like many other designers, he developed into an accomplished furniture designer who created functional and affordable furniture for the everyman. Mogensen studied at Copenhagen school of Arts and Crafts from 1936-1942 under the watchful eye of Kaare Klint as his mentor. After completing his studies he initially went on to work with Klint, from whom he learnt to produce simple and functional furniture. Later on, Mogensen also succeeded his former mentor as designer at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Copenhagen when Klint died in 1954.
