Story
The bench in Mogensen's folding set
The BM1871 page identifies the piece as the bench in a table-and-bench set created by Børge Mogensen. Its separate product description then focuses on the bench's construction and storage.
Compact storage
The sturdy legs tuck inside the slatted seat when the bench is put away. Carl Hansen & Søn also offers padded cushions in weather-resistant Sunbrella for additional sitting comfort, while the bench itself remains foldable.
