BM1106 | Huntsman Chair
Acerca de este producto
Architonic ID: 20316735
Børge Mogensen designed the Huntsman Chair in 1950 and it perfectly encapsulates the timeless qualities of the designer, allowing the premium materials to speak for themselves. The stringent chair serves as both a dining chair and a lounge chair.
Designed in 1950 by Børge Mogensen, Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced the Huntsman Chair in 2019. Presented for the first time at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Furniture Guild Exhibition as part of Mogensen’s ‘hunting cabin theme’, the chair is accompanied by the matching Hunting Table.
The chair unites two distinct design expressions: simplicity and complexity, resulting in a chaste design with unique details. Presenting a rugged elegance, the stringent design allows the natural and high-quality materials to speak for themselves: The luxurious saddle leather is held taut by buckles and brackets in steel or brass and contrasted by a solid wood frame. The design makes for a flexible and comfortable chair that allows for a variety of sitting positions.
Emphasizing Mogensen’s importance for the success of Danish Modern, the chair helped define his style. With its premium materials and timeless craftsmanship, the chair is ideal for a modern context as the versatile character of the chair will last for generations.
The Huntsman Chair is available in walnut or oak.

Børge Mogensen
Denmark
Most people have heard of Børge Mogensen, a furniture designer whose collaboration with FDB, the Danish co-operative chain, enabled Danes to buy high-quality furniture at affordable prices. He went on to create some of the most widely recognised furniture classics of the 1950s and 1960s, a wide selection, in fact, thanks to his prolific productivity. Ideas came to Børge at all times of the day and night, and he noted them down on whatever was at hand: matchboxes, napkins or crumpled envelopes. For example, the Hunting Chair, destined to become one of Mogensen’s many classics, was sketched on a matchbox late at night in the company of good friends. We cannot say the name Børge Mogensen without also mentioning Andreas Graversen. Designer and manufacturer are always dependent on each other, but in this particular case, Andreas Graversen’s acquisition of Fredericia Furniture in 1955 marked the start of more than a purely professional partnership. Over the years, the two men developed a strong – and at times temperamental – friendship fuelled by a common desire to create simple, quality furniture with timeless aesthetic appeal. Before Mogensen’s untimely death in 1972, they jointly won the Furniture Prize in 1971 for their long-term collaboration, still appreciated today in private homes and public offices alike. 1934 Trained as a cabinet maker 1934-36 Worked as a joiner in Copenhagen and Aalborg 1938 Trained as a furniture designer at the School of Arts, Crafts and Design/Furniture School, Copenhagen, under Professor Kaare Klint, with whom he developed a close partnership 1942 Trained as an architect at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts' School of Architecture 1938-43 Worked at various design studios in Copenhagen, including with Kaare Klint 1942-50 Manager of FDB’s furniture design studio, Copenhagen 1945 Awarded the Bissen Scholarship, Denmark 1945-47 Teaching assistant with Professor Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts' School of Architecture, Copenhagen 1950 Awarded the Eckersberg Medal, Denmark 1950-1972 Established own design studio, Copenhagen 1955 Partnership with FREDERICIA FURNITURE A/S begins 1971 Awarded the Furniture Prize, Denmark, in conjunction with FREDERICIA FURNITURE A/S Elected Honorary Royal Designer of Industry by the Royal Society of Arts, London 1972 Awarded the C.F.
