The Spanish Chair was designed after Borge Mogensen's trip to Spain, where he drew inspiration from their traditional furniture design and modernized the shape to create a timeless design in which form follows function. Mogensen's design marries the charm of vintage leather with a bold geometric frame, and the distinctively broad armrests allow users to rest their cups and glasses negating the need for side tables. In doing so, he achieved a more open and informal space for relaxing and conversing.
