Creating The Spanish Chair
Andalucia was the backdrop of inspiration for The Spanish Chair. While travelling through Spain, Mogensen observed an ornate chair with wide armrests, a traditional style involving Spain’s medieval furniture construction. Mogensen modernised the design and expanded upon his work with solid oak and saddle leather. The result is the essence of an idea expressed in a look that’s timeless in appeal – and original.

Simple steps to make your Spanish Chair last for generations
01
02
Daily cleaning
Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. We do not recommend using wet cloths on oiled surfaces if this can be avoided. For stains that cannot be removed with a dry cloth, use a soft cloth dampened with clean water and wrung out.
Maintenance
Oiled wood surfaces must be maintained regularly with the application of a thin layer of oil.
