He also trained at a number of drawing offices, including that of Danish architect Tyge Hvass from 1925 to 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike his architecture, Lassen’s furniture designs showcased his interest in diverse materials and his ability to express his ideas through both natural and man-made materials. His simple, functional wooden furniture, like the folding Egyptian Table, have gone on to become furniture classics, while his 1930s works in steel continue to serve as original examples of the innovations of international modernism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1971, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts awarded Lassen the C.F.

It is a flexible coffee table that exemplifies the functionalism present in classic furniture types. For Lassen and his contemporaries, function was paramount. Their approach – strongly influenced by Kaare Klint – often began with the careful study and refinement of long-existing archetypes such as safari-style knockdown chairs, British Windsor and Chippendale chairs, and flexible, practical tables like the Egyptian Table. These clear, proven furniture types appealed to mid-century design and architecture visionaries, upholding their core belief that intelligent, purposeful design never goes out of style.\u003c\/main\u003e","brand":"Mogens Lassen","offers":[{"title":"Oak lacquered \/ Wal 100cm dia","offer_id":44068904009974,"sku":"CH-ML10097_5deebf6621cf7a485c86121d","price":9400.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak lacquered \/ 85cm dia","offer_id":39341602570413,"sku":"CH-ML10097_5deebf6621cf7a485c86121e","price":8750.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak oiled \/ Wal 100cm dia","offer_id":44068904042742,"sku":"CH-ML10097_5deebf6621cf7a485c86121f","price":8990.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak oiled \/ 85cm dia","offer_id":39341602767021,"sku":"CH-ML10097_5deebf6721cf7a485c861220","price":8340.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak white oil \/ Wal 100cm dia","offer_id":44068904075510,"sku":"CH-ML10097_5deebf6721cf7a485c861221","price":8990.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak white oil \/ 85cm dia","offer_id":39341602799789,"sku":"CH-ML10097_5deebf6721cf7a485c861222","price":8340.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut lacquered \/ Wal 100cm dia","offer_id":44068904108278,"sku":"CH-ML10097_5deebf6721cf7a485c861223","price":10700.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut lacquered \/ 85cm dia","offer_id":39341602832557,"sku":"CH-ML10097_5deebf6821cf7a485c861224","price":10050.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut oiled \/ Wal 100cm dia","offer_id":44068904141046,"sku":"CH-ML10097_5deebf6821cf7a485c861225","price":10280.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut oiled \/ 85cm dia","offer_id":39341602865325,"sku":"CH-ML10097_5deebf6821cf7a485c861226","price":9630.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0337\/3871\/9365\/files\/5e328cc52d98cd4ee2f4ea59.png?v=1771650415"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0337\/3871\/9365\/collections\/5ea65dbd6d4bed3e8a784c7c.jpg?v=1771795431","url":"https:\/\/cultdesign.co.nz\/collections\/mogens-lasen\/type-tables.oembed","provider":"Cult - NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
