BM0701 ASSERBO WALL-MOUNTED BACKREST
The Asserbo Series was created by Børge Mogensen in 1961 to furnish
his private holiday home. The BM0699 Asserbo Bench demonstrates
Børge Mogensen’s approach to function and form. Putting people at
the fore, the perfectly proportioned seat in solid, dark oiled eucalyptus,
is shaped and sized for ease of use, imparting a warm and welcoming
expression. Designed for the Asserbo Bench, the Asserbo Backrest
proves that practicality does not come at the cost of beauty. Offering
lumbar support while protecting walls from scuffs, it is shaped with the
same rounded form and visible brass screws as the rest of the series.
A stringent
and stylistically
consistent design
The BM0555 Bed is an elegant design based on sketches found in Børge Mogensen’s archives. The
bed features many of Børge Mogensen’s characteristic details, including the beautifully visible mortise
joints requiring great precision and meticulous craftsmanship. Børge Mogensen’s focus on creating
designs that last for generations is also evident in the bed, which has a sturdy frame made of solid oak
and rectangular and cylindrical cushions that complete the look with straps in saddle leather.
