An easy chair designed by Børge Mogensen's son, architect Peter Mogensen, as the completion of his father's last furniture series, initiated in 1971. The chair is suitable for hospitality, lounges and private homes.
The Mogensen 22 Collection is the epitome of Børge Mogensen’s perfect sense of proportions and preference for honest materials, reflecting his uncompromising approach to construction and craftsmanship. Born from a desire to create the ultimate sofa, Mogensen designed the first 2213 Sofa for his own home in 1962. In keeping with his goal to create functional furniture to enhance people’s everyday lives, the sofa is unpretentious yet confident, with a strong presence and a global appeal that is timeless.

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.
