Børge Mogensen (b. Aalborg 1914, d. Gentofte 1972)
“Kupé”. A two-seated sofa with mahogany legs, upholstered with patinated light brown leather. Model 2192. Designed 1971. Manufactured by Fredericia Furniture. L. 154 cm.
An elegant high-backed leather sofa designed in 1971. Mogensen wanted to design a sofa for peaceful relaxation in front of the fireplace. He was inspired by the distinctive lines of the British “hall porter's chair” - a classic wing-style chair specially designed to capture heat from the open fireplaces typical of the cold housing of the past. In Danish, the popular term for this model is a “compartment sofa” because it fits snugly round its occupant like the comfortable seats in a first-class train compartment. The sofa is available in two- and three-seater versions as well as a double two-seater version that seats four people. Reference Fredericia Furniture.
Wear due to age and use. Marks and scratches. Patinated leather with surface scratches and marks. One seat cushion with hole.
