CANVAS chair
Great Dane
Designer: Børge Mogensen. 1970
Canvas teamed with wood define a more casual, down-to-earth lifestyle in this simple, structural chair with a strong presence by Børge Mogensen. Reflecting values all the more relevant today, given its broad width that allows people to merge work and play in comfort. The Canvas Chair exemplifies Børge Mogensen’s talent for functionally-driven designs with a focus on simple, structural forms that capture the essence of an idea.
The result is contrast and an uncanny sense of balance. Although it was designed in 1970 as a reaction to flashy furniture from the 1960s, The Canvas Chair takes on even more relevance today, given its earthy informality and honest materials. Prime European oak and linen canvas are both available in black or natural coloured versions, with an optional loose seating cushion in canvas or leather.
