MOGENS LASSEN

1902- 1987

Although Lassen’s primary focus was architecture he also contributed significant furniture and home accessory designs. Like his architecture, Lassen’s furniture designs showcased his interest in diverse materials and his ability to express his ideas through both natural and man-made materials. His simple, functional wooden furniture, like the folding Egyptian Table, have gone on to become furniture classics, while his 1930s works in steel continue to serve as original examples of the innovations of international modernism.
