Description

Carl Hansen & Søn's bench model BM0699, better known as Asserbo, is a perfect example of Danish designer Børge Mogensen's stringent design focusing on the object's usability. And no wonder, as Mogensen originally designed the bench for his own use! The bench is balanced and very well-proportioned with a slightly curved seat and a fixed backrest.

Børge Mogensen initially created the Asserbo series furniture in 1961 for his own holiday home in Asserbo, Denmark. Back then, the furniture was made of pine, but as reissued by Carl Hansen & Søn, the material has been changed to durable eucalyptus characterized by a refined wood grain pattern. What's more, the dark-oiled wood is decorated with brass screws visible both in the backrest and the frame. In addition to homes, the bench is perfect for restaurants and public spaces – wherever you might get together for a meal or a meaningful conversation.

The bench is made of responsibly grown eucalyptus and has been awarded the EU Ecolabel.

Børge Mogensen

Danish furniture designer Børge Mogensen (1914 –1972) was one of the most influential designers of the Danish modern. Mogensen studied furniture design at Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and his designs aimed at functionality, minimalist appearance and easy accessibility. Soon after his graduation Mogensen was named the chief of Danish Consumers’ Co-operative Society FDB, which focused on producing functional, durable and affordable furniture for all social classes.

Mogensen’s designs were often extremely modest and confident at the same time, and the same goes for his personality. Mogensen preferred to work with traditional and natural materials, but also liked to experiment with new techniques and supported the industrial production of furniture. His work was also influenced by folk art, lithography and Japanese wood carvings. During his career Mogensen was awarded with the Eckersberg Medal and C.F. Hansen Medal, and in 1972 he was named Honorary Royal Designer for Industry by the British Royal Society of Arts.
