Quality and simplicity at its best—an iconic modular bookcase created by the prominent Danish furniture designer Børge Mogensen, crafted in teak wood. This piece is part of the China Series, designed by Mogensen in 1960, and inspired by traditional Chinese furniture.
Crafted from high-quality teak, the bookcase showcases Mogensen’s preference for natural, durable woods. The natural finish highlights the beautiful grain patterns, while subtle details, like dowel joints, smooth finishes, and a finely sculpted base, demonstrate the craftsmanship involved. The design features a straightforward, sturdy structure with no superfluous details, staying true to Mogensen’s ethos of functional, practical design, and perfectly merging Asian influences with Scandinavian design principles.
