Børge Mogensen
BM0253 SHELVING SYSTEM
1953
In 1953, the Danish architect Børge Mogensen designed a flexible, module-based shelving system for
Søborg Møbelfabrik, but Mogensen’s BM0253 Shelving System was never put into production. The
shelving system continues Mogensen’s ‘building furniture’ concept of timeless designs that adapt to
changing needs and spaces. The shelving system consists of wooden shelves with elegantly rounded
edges and cabinets with sliding doors with intricately milled handles. The colour scheme for the cabinet
doors was carefully selected to honour the designer’s original drawings and was chosen with the help of
Børge Mogensen’s family.
