Story
From a journey in Andalucia
Fredericia names Andalucia as the backdrop of inspiration for the chair. On a journey through Spain, Børge Mogensen saw an ornate chair with wide armrests, a type connected with medieval Spanish furniture construction. He modernised it and developed the idea in solid oak and saddle leather, which Fredericia calls timeless in appeal and original.
