A freestanding three seater sofa with mahogany legs, upholstered on sides, back and loose cushions with brown patinated leather. Model 2213. Designed 1962. Manufactured and marked by Fredericia Stolefabrik, 1970. L. 221 cm.

Børge Mogensen designed this sofa in 1962 for his home in Gentofte north of Copenhagen, where it still stands, placed between the two tables that dictated the measurements of the sofa. The simplicity and clean lines have since made the sofa one of the most recognised Mogensen pieces, still used widely today in government buildings, embassies, executive offices and private homes all over the world.
