Børge Mogensen sideboard

This rare sideboard, designed by Børge Mogensen and produced by Søborg Møbelfabrik in Denmark during the 1950s, is an excellent representation of mid-century Scandinavian design principles. The piece highlights clean, minimalist lines and practical storage solutions, combined with a thoughtful material palette that balances warmth and modernity.

Constructed from teak, the sideboard showcases a rich, warm tone with a natural, visually appealing grain pattern. Its front is fitted with two sliding doors featuring recessed handles, preserving the streamlined and understated aesthetic typical of Mogensen’s designs. Inside, the sideboard is thoughtfully organized with compartments—one side includes open shelving for display or storage, while the other offers pull-out trays, providing versatile functionality.

Elevated on slender steel legs, the unit achieves a light, airy presence while maintaining stability and durability. The combination of natural teak wood and industrial steel legs reflects the Danish modernist emphasis on material contrast and functionality.

Børge Mogensen’s pragmatic design approach prioritized utility and longevity without sacrificing style. His work with Søborg Møbelfabrik resulted in finely crafted furniture that remains highly regarded for its blend of timeless elegance and practical use.

Measuring 150 cm wide, 46 cm deep, and 87 cm high (59.1 x 18.1 x 34.3 inches), this sideboard is in good vintage condition, showing minor wear consistent with age, which adds to its authentic character.
