Story
Designed for Fredericia in 1956
Fredericia describes the BM29 Shelf as timeless and functional furniture by Børge Mogensen, crafted in Denmark from solid wood and veneer. The maker says it was designed for Fredericia in 1956 and that it shows the company's long tradition in Scandinavian design.
Rails, brackets and shelves
The construction is a wall system: solid wood rails and brackets carry veneer shelves that are mounted with screws. The product page's forestry note names FSC-certified forests and other controlled sources for the timber.
