Probably more than any other Danish furniture designer, master craftsman Borge Morgensen made subtle yet important shifts in his design work over the years. Examples of his work spanning his entire career can be seen at Denmark 50 in Los Angeles.“Mr. Morgensen’s work began as a cabinet maker. He took function to a new level as he carefully studied clothing and then designed around clothes. It was his idea make storage fit what was being stored, a revolutionary idea in design at the time,” said Wayne Marmorstein, owner of Denmark 50. “He later brought these ideas to Danish home furniture.”
Morgensen was designing modernism furniture before it became popular with the general public. In the beginning a few people with an eye for true art appreciated his work. Their opinion took root and soon the designer joined the ranks of Denmark’s most celebrated designer.
He worked with and studied under Kaare Klint for many years. Upon Mr. Klint’s death, Mr. Morgensen took the post as designer for the Danish Museum of Decorative Art. He also received numerous international awards and accolades for his design work.
“Mr. Morgensen challenged assumptions about home design. He was a firm believer that a home is a place for the family and a place where people should feel comfortable and relaxed. His Danish furniture designs are simple, yet practical and comfortable but elegant,” Mr. Marmorstein said.
Vintage Danish furniture and the best from Borge Morgensen, can be found at Denmark 50 in Los Angeles. Please visit www.denmark50.com .
