Description
The Spoke-Back Sofa
The Spoke-Back Sofa is a classic Børge Mogensen design, first presented in 1945 as a proposal for the ‘furniture type of the future’. The sofa combines chaise lounge and conversation sofa in one piece of furniture that is practical and expressive at the same time. The light construction in solid wood with removable cushions means that the sofa can always be renewed as needed.

Simple steps to make your Spoke-Back Sofa last for generations
01
02
Like all other objects, upholstered furniture attracts dust and becomes dirty. However, you should be aware of not allowing the upholstery to get too dirty, as it will make the subsequent cleaning more difficult. Also keep in mind that dust and dirt increase wear and tear, generate an unhealthy indoor climate and diminish any fire-resistant features. Regular maintenance is therefore necessary in order to maintain the upholstery’s looks and to prolong its longevity.
A soothing Scandinavian feeling by the roaring North Sea
Take a look inside the seaside hotel, Svinkløv Badehotel, in Northern Jutland, Denmark. Modern classics from Fredericia were included in a section of the hotel known as the ‘Purple suite’ to help create that certain Scandinavian summer vibe: Børge Mogensen’s Spoke-back sofa and Ejvind A. Johansson’s J64 Chair. Explore the story here.
