Spanish Chair - Model 2226

The Spanish Chair designed by Borge Mogensen in 1958 and manufactured by Fredericia.

A modern design classic. It’s ironic that something called The Spanish Chair would become synonymous with Danish design. However, the origin of its name and its distinctive aesthetic render the chair worthy of its reputation.

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.

The Spanish Chair embodies the simply lines, strong construction and use of natural materials the Mogensen is synonymous for.
