Mogensen's Hunting Chair 75 years - A Danish Design Icon Reimagined
To mark its 75th anniversary, Fredericia presents a rare and exclusive edition of Børge Mogensen’s The Hunting Chair, limited to just 75 pieces worldwide.
First introduced in 1950 at the Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition in Copenhagen, The Hunting Chair was Mogensen’s modern interpretation of rustic living. With its low, reclining frame, robust saddle leather, and impeccable craftsmanship, the chair embodied his vision of honest, functional design that connects deeply to human experience.
Seventy-five years later, Fredericia celebrates this enduring icon with a special anniversary edition crafted in Denmark from FSC-certified ash with a light oil finish, dark brown saddle leather, hand-stitched detailing, and polished chrome buckles. Each chair bears an engraved steel plate with Mogensen’s signature and comes with a certificate of authenticity, personally signed by the craftsman who made it.
For Fredericia’s CEO and third-generation owner, Rasmus Graversen, The Hunting Chair is more than a masterpiece of Danish modernism — it is a personal heirloom. “It’s a piece that’s been lived with, moved around, sat in, and loved,” he says. “That’s exactly what my grandfather wanted: furniture that becomes part of people’s lives.”
Honouring the legacy of Mogensen and the timeless values of Danish design, the 75th Anniversary Edition stands as both a tribute to craftsmanship and a testament to lasting beauty.
