The BM0488S Table Bench is a shorter version of Borge Mogensen's famous bench with the characteristic woven seat, understated details and precise craftsmanship. Mogensen created the table bench in 1958 as part of his 'building furniture concept', and his philosophy was to design functional and durable furniture that can be adapted to changing needs and residential locations. The table bench is made of solid oak and double-woven canework, which lends the piece a solid but elegant expression. The rounded edges and beautiful mortise joints testify to the elaborate craftsmanship that characterizes Borge Mogensen's style. With its more modest dimensions, the table bench can easily be combined with the longer BM0488 Bench, but it also serves as an independent piece of furniture which can be used as a bench in the entrance hall, as a side table in the living room or as a bedside table.
