| Børge Mogensen |
He apprenticed as a cabinetmaker under Klint during his time at the Royal Academy and became head of design at the Danish co-op FDB in 1942 after receiving his degree in architecture. He opened his own design office in 1950.
Under Klint he developed an appreciation for American Shaker furniture, which they both admired for its utilitarian design. Much of Mogensen's work was based on Shaker prototypes, and he became known for interpreting traditional forms into modernist designs.
Some of Mogensen's best known designs are the 1945 Spokeback sofa, 1950 Hunting chair and the 1959 Spanish chair.
