Every detail has a purpose

Børge Mogensen’s Library Table was he's

initial debut at the Cabinetmakers Guild

Exhibition in 1958. The pure lines and open

construction are emblematic of his approach to

designs driven by function. Where every detail

has a precise purpose that correlates to its

use. By raising and securing the hinged leaves

at either end, the length of the table could be

doubled. When not in use, the hinged leaves

fold down to hang vertically. Resulting in a

clean, rectangular profile of a practical,

multi-purpose design crafted in oak.

The concept was inspired by the English

gateleg table dating back to the Baroque

period. But it was Mogensen’s refined visual

expression and elimination of anything

unnecessary, which contributed to its iconic

status. Modest in appearance and meticulously

proportioned, the Library Table is perfectly

suited for executive offices, conference rooms,

libraries, law offices, galleries and private

homes.
