About This Piece

Vintage Design

Set of six original Swedish Mid-Century Modern vintage dining chairs, model 503, from the "Asserbo" series.

* This offer includes six "Asserbo" dining chairs, two of which are very rare and feature armrests.
* The chairs were designed in the 1970s by Borge Mogensen for Karl Andersson & Söner in Sweden.
* First-class quality, craftsmanship, minimalist and cubist simplicity, functionality, and timelessness characterize this design by Borge Mogensen.
* The seat is covered with visually appealing and comfortable paper cord.
* The straight-lined, angular, and solid frame is made of solid pine.
* The design language of the Asserbo model 503 is clear, charismatic, and, for us, particularly aesthetically pleasing.

DIMENSIONS
Chairs with armrests (2x): Width 63 cm * Height 76 cm * Depth 47 cm * Seat height 45 cm
Chairs without armrests (4x): Width 51 cm * Height 76 cm * Depth 47 cm * Seat height 45 cm

CONDITION
The chairs are in very well-maintained and more than good vintage condition with superficial and age-appropriate signs of wear on the solid wood frame and a few, typical patinas on the paper cord.
+ The wood has a few minor dents, surface scratches, or small nicks. One chair has a very small surface crack (not serious or deep - this can be seen in a photo above) at the top of one edge.
+ The cord weave has only a few minor surface abrasions and a few tiny stains. We consider the seat weave to be in very good, above-average condition; this condition is rarely found in mid-century chairs with paper cord seats.
.... All of the above Signs of wear are only slightly more visible upon closer inspection, but are not serious.

+ The pictures are part of the and offer; they show the general condition and the most important flaws. We therefore ask you to take a close look at the pictures above.

About the Creator

Børge Mogensen

Designer Børge Mogensen was born in Aalborg, Denmark in 1914. He studied furniture design at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts under esteemed Professor Kaare Klint from 1936–38. Next, he studied at the School of Furniture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1938–41, where he also served as Klint’s teaching assistant. In 1942, Mogensen became head of design at the Danish Consumers Coöperative Society (FDB). He opened his own design office in 1950, and was one of a handful of designers who helped define and popularize the notion of modern Danish design.

Mogensen’s aesthetic was clean and highly functional. He was driven to create affordable, practical designs, and his preferred material was wood. Clients included Fredericia Stolefabrik, Fritz Hansen, and Søborg Møbelfabrik, among others. Notable projects include Spokeback Sofa (1945), and Spanish Chair (1959), as well as a variety of shelving and storage designs. He was honored with the Eckersberg Medal in 1950, the annual prize from the Copenhagen Carpentry Guild in 1953, and the C.F. Hansen Medal in 1972.

Mogensen passed away in Denmark in 1972.
