Info about the product

The Shaker table was not exclusive to Børge Mogensen’s private dining room. It was also a table type that he returned to time and again throughout his career as a furniture architect. Børge Mogensen designed this model for FDB Møbler in 1950, but it was never put into production, possibly because of the cross-shaped legs, which back then were a bold design detail and one that was difficult to manufacture. Many years later, FDB Møbler launched the table which – despite changing social trends within interior design – remains a timeless and aesthetically durable design. With its elegant and unique underframe, which is drawn in under the tabletop, the simple rectangular surface appears to float freely in space while allowing plenty of legroom. The table comes across as being highly functional with a practical tabletop with rounded edges, and builds on Børge Mogensen’s unwavering requirement that a piece of furniture should serve its users and support human activities rather than forcing people to adapt to the furniture. Important before purchase: Please be aware that extension plates only will fit veneered oak tables purchased after spring 2022 and solid oak tables purchased after September 2024.
Børge Mogensen - FDB Møbler

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.
