The Spoke-back sofa, with sides that can be lowered by characteristic leather straps, is one of Børge Mogensen most popular models. He designed it in 1945, when he and his peer Hans J. Wegner furnished a three-room flat for the autumn exhibition of the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition. However, the sofa, a combination of classic two-seater sofas such as the English daybed and the French chaise longue, was too sophisticated for post-war taste and did not go into production until 1963 - this time with resounding success.
