As partners, Borg and Vodder also designed furniture for manufacturers such as Vamo and Slagelse Møbelvaerk, however Vodder's reputation as a furniture designer has overshadowed that of Borg over the years to the extent that few people recognize the name. Interestingly, however, even though Borg's name was given only a cursory mention on the Vodder website, it was given "top billing" on some of their pieces.
Try as I might, I could not locate a photo of Borg, but his design work and his name should be known, even if his face isn't.

These are wonderful pieces Dana; the woven armchair and desk particularly appeal to me... a pity Anton Borg isn't getting the recognition he deserves.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a shame when history leaves some folks behind. He deserves recognition for his work.
