BM OUTDOOR SERIES
Developed from the late 1960s to early 1970s, Danish furniture designer Børge Mogensen’s BM Outdoor
Series was created as a lightweight, space saving solution for the balcony of the designer’s own home.
Mogensen’s clever, utilitarian pieces can be folded up and stowed away or hung onto a wall as a
decorative feature when not in use. Like all of Børge Mogensen’s furniture designs, the series combines
functional strength with natural materials and a timeless aesthetic. Featuring a number of carefully
crafted details that point to Mogensen’s background as a cabinetmaker, the BM Outdoor Series features
clear stylistic references to the American Shakers and to 19th-century English furniture design.
