Info about the product

Ermelunden is a garden furniture series designed by the furniture designer Børge Mogensen in 1965. The name Ermelunden is taken from a small forest in Gentofte, close to where he lived. Intended as a stationary furniture arrangement. It was imperative for Børge Mogensen that his furniture was highly functional. And so it is no coincidence that he chose to give Ermelunden wide feet to prevent the legs from sinking into the grass. Moreover, Børge Mogensen was aware of people’s different sitting positions, which is why the backrest is shaped with two different angles, providing support when either sitting up straight or when adopting a more relaxed posture. Børge Mogensen was so pleased with Ermelunden that he chose to have the furniture in his private garden in Gentofte and also at his holiday home near Limfjorden in central Jutland.

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.
