BM0488/BM0489 Table Bench

Originally designed in 1958, Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduces the the versatile Table Bench design, expertly crafted in oak heartwood with cabinetry joints, rounded edges and a double-woven rattan seat. The soulful, standalone piece is just as appropriate in an entrance hall or at the end of a bed, or as a coffee table or side table in a dining or living room. Versatile, timeless and carefully crafted, the BM0488 Table Bench was originally created to complement the BM0865 Daybed. Equally suited to use as a bench in an entrance hall or at the end of a bed as it is as a coffee table or side table, the independent piece exudes wellbeing wherever it is placed. The BM0488 is crafted in solid oak, where the dense and flawless inner portion of the trunks known as heartwood are skillfully shaped with traditional cabinetry joints and rounded edges that repeat in the legs and rails. Topped with a double–woven surface, the durable and decorative design will look beautiful for generations to come.

The table benches were designed by Børge Mogensen. Mogensen’s creative process produced long-lasting pieces with humans at the center. He became a highly-influential, post-war designer and a leading representative of Danish Modern. Mogensen’s democratic design included simple and functional wooden furniture for both private and public spaces, with calm aesthetics and strong construction from quality. He believed in visual clarity and minimal decoration or experimentation.
