Fredericia THE SPANISH CHAIR, soaped oak/cognac leather

With the Spanish Chair Mogensen expanded upon his work with solid oak and saddle leather. Børge Mogensen drew much of his inspiration from traditional chairs of other cultures, such as English Windsor chairs and the Shaker movement in America. In Spain, a traditional way of making furniture involved the use of sturdy leather to construct the seat as part of a wooden structure – hence the name of what went on to become one of Mogensen's most celebrated designs.
