BM1160 HUNTING TABLE
Informal and functional, the BM0698 Asserbo Table was created by
Børge Mogensen in 1961 to furnish his private holiday home. Originally
crafted in pine, Børge Mogensen’s informal Asserbo Table is today
shaped from solid dark oiled eucalyptus, a beautiful hard wood with
a subtle grain and brown hue. With its high utility value and informal
lines, the design alludes to the Shaker style. Its gently rounded shape
is punctuated with brushed brass screws that serve as a practical and
eye-catching detail.
Børge Mogensen designed the BM1160 Hunting Table for the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild
Furniture Exhibition in 1950. The table combines excellent woodwork with elegant metal brace bars,
creating a bold and organic whole. The name refers to the “Hunting Cabin” theme of the Guild’s
exhibition, a detail which is also reflected in the table’s robustness and wood-focused design. The
table is constructed for frequent use with rounded corners and edges in solid wood, which reveals
Mogensen’s passion for democratic and accessible design. The stability is ensured by using two
diagonal brace metal bars connecting the table top and frame with an aesthetically pleasing effect.
