The client portfolio for which he worked includes Fredericia Stolefabrik, Fritz Hansen and Søborg Møbelfabrik, among others. Notable projects include Spokeback Sofa (1945) and Spanish Chair (1959), as well as a variety of shelving and storage designs.

Needs to be reworked. Measurements: 76 x 221 x 80 cm. Sofa 2212 by Børge Mogensen combines Danish design with a modest aesthetic of remarkable sophistication.

The generous proportions and cushions upholstered in fabric or leather provide exceptional comfort for the user. The armrests, meanwhile, feature a distinctive shape, characteristic of the 22 collection, reflected in a slight curve, higher at the back and giving the sofa a modern, timeless look. The seat, back and side cushions are completely detachable from the frame.
