Børge Mogensen was ahead of his time

Shaker furniture from Denmark? Børge Mogensen designed modular furniture in 1945, shortly after the end of the war. He was quite a visionary with that.

Børge Mogensen's Danish wooden furniture

Even those who arrive early are unpunctual. Børge Mogensen, Danish furniture designer, was usually well ahead of the times - especially with his sofa "Spoke-Back" from 1945. Denmark had just been liberated, and the petite two-seater with its side rests cleverly adjustable by leather straps was considered too playful by contemporaries. Yet Mogensen took the clarity and honesty of Shaker furniture as a model for many of his designs. After all, once his early work finally went into production in 1962, "Spoke-Back" was quickly celebrated as "the most Danish of all furniture". Unfortunately, the life of the furniture purist was also far too rapid. He died in 1972 at the age of only 58.

However, the 52-room boutique hotel underwent a butterfly-like transformation a few years ago, with the Berlin design studio Lambs and Lions simultaneously providing the pupae and the cocoon of heavy fabrics and warm colors, double rooms from 159 euros. Rosso, Allgäu South of the Elbe, life is not the same. That's what Lisa Rühwald and Christian Müller noticed when they set off from Hamburg two years ago "with a healthy dose of naivety in their luggage". They didn't get as far as Italy, because a farm in the Allgäu region fell in front of their feet. So they broug

Inspiration: Cozy reading corner in &tradition style

Inspiration: Cozy reading corner in &tradition style Hola the wood fairy, but from the reading corner we can not get out of the whole autumn. And that's what we thought when we shot the beautiful pieces of furniture from &tradition in the summer. The Danish label for furniture, accessories and lighting has already enchanted us many times in the past, so it was about time that we give ourselves a little bit to the label when it comes to creating a beautiful, cozy feel-good corner for your home.
