Info about the product

It has never been more straightforward to hang a piece of Danish design history on the wall. B5 is a simple and functional shelf that simultaneously represents the qualities that have contributed to making Børge Mogensen one of the most important furniture architects in the golden age of Danish furniture design. First and foremost, B5 is executed in a simple and stylish manner using solid materials. It functions as a straightforward element on the wall in a space where additional shelf space is needed to place items within easy reach. However, as a modular system, it can easily be expanded to accommodate a growing collection of books, LP records, or similar items. Børge Mogensen designed the shelf when he was still a student at the Academy of Fine Arts Furniture School, and B5 thus represents the beginning of the era that FDB Møbler has been an integral part of.

Børge Mogensen

Børge Mogensen (1914–1972) was one of the most important and influential representatives of Danish furniture design. Almost everyone in Denmark has experienced his designs – from the well-known, modern FDB furniture of the 1940s to countless classics that have furnished both homes and public spaces in Denmark since the Second World War.

Børge Mogensen believed that furniture should fit the human being, rather than the other way around and that functional quality furniture is paramount. The entire range of his furniture designs – sofas, dining tables and dining chairs – is distinguished by a recurring theme: simple lines, solid wooden surfaces and soft, shell cordovan leather. Modern design with a distinguished history.
