The Spanish Chair stands out as one of Mogensen’s most

celebrated designs and a personal favourite, showcasing his

unique take on modernity. Created for Fredericia in 1958, the

inspiration behind this extraordinary design stemmed from a

family trip to Andalucia, where he experienced the Spanish

medieval style of furniture construction.

Featuring signature wide armrests and clean lines, the Spanish

Chair boasts a striking aesthetic. It is expertly crafted from solid

oak or walnut with geometrical precision. The rustic combina-

tion of saddle leather, a wood frame, and metal buckles adds

character, developing a unique patina that becomes even more

stunning over time.

The high-premium semi-aniline leather is crafted by skilled arti-

sans at the esteemed Tärnsjö Tannery in Sweden. For over 60

years, they have tailored pieces for Mogensen’s Spanish Col-

lection. As the leather expands over time, the adjustable straps

can be tightened, ensuring a comfortable seating experience

from day one and for the rest of your life.
