Salute! Celebrate The Spanish Chair
A special edition of Børge Mogensen’s deisgn for Fredericia will appear on its 60th anniversary.
Take a seat. It’s been no less than 60 years since the launch of The Spanish Chair, designed by Børge Mogensen in 1958 and manufactured by Fredericia.
To celebrate this occasion, Fredericia has launched a special edition in solid oak combined with an elegant Olive Green saddle leather. To honour Børge Mogensen’s work, Fredericia searched the master’s archive and discovered this subtle, natural colour, which was one of his most loved hues and one of the dominating interior colours at the time.
Now, and for the first time ever, the Spanish Chair is available in this modern mid-century colour marking 60 years of impeccable craftsmanship and cutting edge design.
But it’s only available for a short time: 19 September – 31 December 2018 – launching the exact day when the chair originally was presented to the world in 1958 as part of the yearly exhibition curated by Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild.
In addition, to commemorate this special anniversary, Fredericia invited Børge Mogensen’s grandson, renowned fashion photographer Rasmus Mogensen, to portrait himself with the masterpiece created by his granddad in 1958.
‘Børge Mogensen’s perfectionist obsession with a simple overall look, the fine details, the perfectly conceived angles etc. both drove and exhausted him. Just then I felt a special bond with Børge, even a kind of curse. This deep-felt need for absolute simplicity and an idea of creating something perfect’ says Mogensen.
