History of the BM0949P

The expressive Contour Chair is a visually stunning example of the sculptural and organic design language of Børge Mogensen.
First presented in 1949 at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Furniture Exhibition, the chair presented an innovative
aesthetic as Mogensen challenged both form and materials:
The form-pressed veneer showcased the possibilities of both new materials and technology and the chair became an exponent
of a new design movement.
With veneer as the point of departure, the Contour Chair represents a new way for Mogensen, as he took a break
designing furniture in solid wood.
With its remarkable expression and distinctive silhouette, the Contour Chair is now reintroduced by Carl Hansen & Søn,
70 years after its creation.
The lightness in form merges with comfort and flexibility, making the lounge chair a natural new design favorite
for the modern day.
