Info about the product

2023 marked 125 years since the birth of Danish architect, professor, and furniture designer Mogens Koch was born. In that connection, FDB Møbler and Mogens Koch Design launch a very special sofa. The sofa is one of Mogens Koch’s designs from 1947. Originally, the sofa was designed as a commission for the manor house “Gammel Kjøgegaard”, located south of Copenhagen near the city of Køge. It brings us great joy to have brought this updated version of the beautiful MK46 to life. One of the characteristics of Mogens Koch's upholstered furniture is that the frame is made as an independent construction – with frame and chair always being clearly and separately defined. Koch didn't like the idea of the legs of the furniture emerging straight out of the upholstery, because the blind frame is often of a different type and quality of wood.

Mogens Koch

Building architect and professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Mogens Koch (1898 - 1992) was noticed to that extent - also as a furniture architect behind well -known classics such as the building rack (1928) and the folding chair (designed in 1933, produced from 1959).

Koch was employed by Kaare Klint for a period up to 1934, after which he opened his own drawing room in 1934. At the studio, the tasks were many and versatile, ranging from furniture, new construction, fonts, silver and textiles.

Mogens Koch actively participated in the idealistic development work that would lead to better and cheaper furniture for FDB customers. So even though Mogens Koch Møbler today achieves high auction prices, many of them were drawn with a rationale in use and production in mind.

The beautiful and strong shelf boxes are among his most popular design. Designed in the 1940s - and loved worldwide for their simplicity and countless combination options. This is really a piece of furniture that survives generation after generation.
