The BM0488 Table Bench was shown for the first time at the 1958 Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Furniture Exhibition on a stand called ‘Landhuset’ designed by Børge Mogensen. In 2020 Carl Hansen & Søn relaunched it as part of a growing collection of the renowned Danish architect and designer’s work. The Table Bench was originally created to complement the BM0865 Daybed, this multi-functional piece with woven detailing forms part of Mogensen’s ‘building furniture’ concept through which he conceived enduring furniture that could be added to and adapted over time in response to changing needs and living situations. The BM0488 Table Bench comes in two sizes, both versatile pieces of furniture that work in a hallway, at the foot of a bed or as a sofa or side table in the living room.
