Story
Building furniture
The Table Bench forms part of Mogensen's 'building furniture' concept: furniture meant to last and to be added to or adapted as needs changed.
For the daybed
Its page names the BM0865 Daybed as the piece it was first made to accompany, and says Carl Hansen & Søn relaunches it as part of a growing collection of Mogensen's work.
