Børge Mogensen Solid Teak Floating Shelf

Creator: Børge Mogensen (Borge Mogensen)
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
A beautifully crafted solid teak wall shelf designed by Børge Mogensen, one of Denmark’s most influential mid-century designers. This piece exemplifies Mogensen’s philosophy of functional beauty — thoughtfully made, structurally honest, and built to last for generations.

The shelf features precise exposed finger-joint joinery at the corners, a subtle yet striking detail that speaks to the high level of cabinetmaking skill involved in its construction. Rounded supports and softly sculpted edges add warmth and tactility, balancing clean architectural lines with an inviting, handcrafted presence.

Made from richly toned solid teak, the wood displays deep grain character and a natural patina that enhances its sense of authenticity and age. Compact yet substantial, the shelf is ideal for storing small objects, books, or cherished decorative pieces — equally suited for entryways, bedrooms, or modern living spaces.

Understated, refined, and beautifully made — this is Danish design at its most honest and enduring.
