The Mogensen 22 Collection is a classic and timeless series

of fully upholstered sofas and lounge chairs, characterised by

sharp outer contours and soft cushions within – an expression

that combines enduring form with a sublime level of material

quality, upholstery precision, and ultimate comfort.

The first iconic sofa in this collection was released in 1962, fol-

lowed by many variations, evolving into Danish design institu-

tions. The Mogensen 2204 Wing Chair from 1963 is regarded

as one of the most comfortable pieces of furniture Mogensen

ever created. Its soft leather embraces the body, and its winged

design helps shut out the world, providing a peaceful space for

reading or relaxing.

On closer inspection, the chair reveals delicate craftsmanship

in its piping, solid wood legs, jute webbing, and down pillows,

all supported by a solid hardwood frame. A signature material

in Mogensen’s designs is bull hide, which is less elastic and

provides the sturdy support needed to maintain the shape of a

Mogensen sofa for generations. This is a strength test for the

upholsterer but was a must for Mogensen.
