i haven’t been able to get the home of famed Danish furniture designer Børge Mogensen out of my mind all week. i keep going back to Bo Bedre to look at all the rooms and oooooh over the light, the furniture & all the wood detailing. the kitchen is over 50 years old and the cabinets look like they were installed yesterday. in the future when i wince at the price of a beautiful piece of furniture or get quoted something crazy for custom cabinetry i’ll remember this house and how quality keeps for decades. might have to steal his framing idea, too…

so friggin cool. that framing idea is pretty amazing. especially love the 1:1 scale technical drawing on the wall! (we should do that for buildings…)
So awesome. I love all of the wood! Love the outside space too.
This is like a travel back in time for me! In the 70’s everything was brown (and orange) in the danish homes :D I like it, but it’s too old-school at the moment ;)
– If you like Børge Mogensen, you might like Arne Jacobsen even better? (:
This is so cool…love your posts ,anyway!
that is the loveliest home i have ever seen. timeless, classic, and still feels so home-y.

I would love to live here!
I like the sense of warmth that his designs have even though the style is minimal. I love your blog by the way. The colour comparisons especially … ironic that I’m commenting on the home post. Gotta love mid century modern!
Oh damn. This home is cozy yet classy, modern but retaining some traditional elements – everything I want. I do love the framing idea as well
This is an excellent house..thanks for posting
It such a beautiful house and it almost feels like inside is outside in some rooms. I love that!
One of the coolest homes I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing!
This house and everything in it makes me want to cry, cause I don’t live in it! So utterly gorgeous.
I was there, before his wife died. This was soooo much HIM !! Luckily it is nopw owned by a passionate furniture-man. I have some of his (discontinued) designs, still. And a couple of prototypes as well (still). But (here) I see his own drawings of the chairs # 200-201 for Soborg MF.
Amazing house!

Wow, just beautiful. Borge Mogensen’s designs are truly fantastic, and seeing a house just chalked full of his Spanish chairs is a site.
