Coupe sofa, 1971
Coupe sofa by Børge Mogensen for Fredericia.
An elegant leather sofa designed in 1971. Mogensen was inspired by the distinctive lines of the British hall porter´s chair – a classic wing-style chair specially designed to capture heat from open fireplaces, typical of the housing of the past.
Børge Mogensen designed the first of his iconic leather sofas in 1962. Since then, they have become a Danish institution and are used to furnish cabinet ministers’ offices and Danish embassies all over the world.
In Danish, the model is popularly termed the Coupé Sofa, because it encloses you just like the comfortable seats in first-class train coupés. Here, you can withdraw completely from the world and enjoy a good book in peace.

Fredericia was first established as the Fredericia Stolefabrik (Fredericia Chair Factory) in 1911 and specialised in antique style furniture.
In 1955 the languishing company was acquired by Andreas Graversen who scrapped the existing product line and created a new one with the help of young architect, Børge Mogensen.
The company was taken over by Graversen's son, Thomas Graversen, in 1995. He led the company into the new century with a more fluid approach to design and production. Together with designers like Nanna Ditzel, he created a number of internationally recognised furniture pieces while at the same time continuing to produce the best of Mogensen's designs.
