Like many of Mogensen’s designs, the BM0865 Daybed is crafted inwards solid oak, in addition to inwards this case, it uses ‘heartwood’, the dense in addition to flawless inner part of the trunks.

How exquisite is the weaving detail? When the BM0865 in addition to BM0488 are used inwards combination, the woven tabletop is at the same degree equally the soft surface of the daybed cushion, making them perfect partners inwards pairs or inwards groups, enabling versatile seating landscapes to endure configured in addition to reconfigured to suit the infinite or the occasion.

Testament to the ‘building furniture’ approach is the versatility of the piece, which tin endure used equally a bench inwards an foyer or at the terminate of a bed, or equally a java tabular array or side tabular array paired amongst a to a greater extent than conventional armchair or sofa.

Lamps that create you lot experience rubber //— MO SERIES Designed yesteryear Mads Odgård

The novel MO Series is Carl Hansen & Son’s kickoff collaboration amongst Danish designer Mads Odgård. The serial is based on elementary shapes that symbolise light’s comforting number on people. In their ain discreet way, the lamps complement Carl Hansen & Son’s slice of furniture collection in addition to retell the story of Danish design.

How tin I create the simplest design? Mads Odgård asks himself this query every fourth dimension he sits downward to pattern a novel product, equally a way of avoiding whatsoever unnecessary details. The easily recognisable in addition to elementary shapes of the light too came nigh through a enquiry projection inwards which he explores lighting technology scientific discipline inwards collaboration amongst Aalborg University in addition to the Technical University of Denmark. Learning that low-cal makes people experience safe, Mads realised he had to create a shape for the lamps that would symbolise safety, piece complementing Carl Hansen & Son’s slice of furniture hit inwards the most natural way.

The serial consists of a wall lamp, a flooring lamp, a tabular array lamp, in addition to a pendant light that receive got a broad appeal amongst their minimalist style in addition to private lighting purposes. The 2 basic shapes used yesteryear Mads Odgård inwards the pattern are the hemisphere in addition to the cylinder. He chose the hemisphere because it represents a component of light’s logical, natural form: “It’s essential for low-cal to endure a sphere, or component of a sphere. As the Sun rises to a higher identify the horizon, it starts spreading a modest dome of light, which in addition to then grows into a hemisphere in addition to afterward a sphere. The argue why we’re uncomfortable amongst fluorescent tubes is that they’re non spherical. It precisely doesn’t check amongst our consciousness,” says Mads Odgård, referring to the cognition he gained inwards the enquiry project.

The sentiment behind the sparse cylinder is to hand the light both functional in addition to visual stability in addition to balance. By having the cylinder in addition to the hemisphere inwards all 4 lamps, Mads Odgård creates a feel of calm through repetition. This agency that the 4 lamps tin all endure component of the same environment, in addition to that several lamps of the same model tin piece of job together in addition to convey harmony.

When it comes to longevity in addition to timeless appeal, this lighting collection sure delivers. “To me, Carl Hansen & Son is synonymous amongst tradition. It’s rattling Danish. Some mightiness retrieve the light serial lacks something distinctive in addition to modern or trendy – something to give-up the ghost far ‘fashionable’. But none of Carl Hansen & Son’s slice of furniture pieces are ‘fashionable’. They are precisely timeless. And so is the MO Series,” says Mads Odgård. And Knud Erik Hansen agrees: “The lamps volition check inwards perfectly amongst a contemporary style, but thank you lot to their timeless quality, they’ll too endure modern in addition to relevant 20, 30, in addition to xl years from now,” he says in addition to continues: “That’s why the lamps check perfectly amongst our other light serial equally good equally amongst our entire slice of furniture collection.”

Foldable Furniture for Outdoor Togetherness //— Designed yesteryear Børge Mogensen

For the 3rd consecutive year, Carl Hansen & Son is expanding its hit of outdoor slice of furniture amongst a laid created yesteryear ane of the most distinctive Danish slice of furniture designers. Børge Mogensen’s functionalist mindset is expressed through every special of the tabular array in addition to benches that tin convey trace of piece of job solid unit of measurement in addition to friends together. After use, it tin endure folded upwards so it solely requires a minimum of storage space.

Thomas in addition to Peter Mogensen grew upwards amongst a begetter who flora solutions to most of the problems he encountered inwards everyday life: “Børge made slice of furniture for pretty much everything nosotros needed at abode in addition to inwards life,” state his sons. This mindset is evident inwards the laid of tabular array in addition to benches designed yesteryear Børge Mogensen inwards 1971 when he lived inwards a trace of piece of job solid amongst a garden.

The tabular array in addition to benches are the paradigm of elementary in addition to precise pattern amongst its wooden slats in addition to welcoming expression. The combination of tabular array in addition to benches invites people to larn together following in addition to taste outdoor togetherness, in addition to thank you lot to the pattern of the narrow frame, no ane volition terminate upwards sitting amongst a tabular array leg inwards the way. When the tabular array has been cleared in addition to summertime is coming to an end, the benches in addition to tabular array tin easily endure folded upwards in addition to locked inwards identify amongst the stainless steel screws that are too used inwards the slice of furniture joints. Thanks to this flexible solution, the laid solely takes upwards a minimum of storage infinite when non inwards use.

Carl Hansen & Son has recreated the laid according to the master copy pattern yesteryear Børge Mogensen, but has chosen to increase the meridian of the tabular array in addition to benches slightly to accommodate the average meridian of people today. In addition, Carl Hansen & Son covers the bench amongst a channel-stitched cushion amongst stitching that follows the direction of the slats. The cushion is made from durable, weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric, which is slowly to create clean in addition to made from upwards to 50% recycled Sunbrella fibres. The cushion filling allows rainwater to travel yesteryear through, hence ensuring shorter drying time.
