Masterful sense of materials

In 1955, when Andreas Graversen acquired

Fredericia, he did so with one stipulation.

That the production of furniture would be

aligned with the vision of Børge Mogensen,

who Graversen had appointed as Head of

Design based on Mogensen’s pure, honest,

unpretentious style. The No. 1 Sofa was the

first sofa series that Mogensen designed for

Fredericia, and it marked the start of a close

collaboration.

Mogensen imbued the No. 1 Sofa with his

masterful sense of materials and proportions,

emphasising the horizontal and vertical lines,

with clean angular armrests. The tightly

upholstered wooden frame is softened by

loose, interchangeable buttoned cushions.

It’s all in keeping with Mogensen’s quest to

create functional furniture that would enhance

people’s everyday lives.
