The Spanish Dining Chair

In 1964, The Spanish Dining Chair was created by Børge Mogensen for Fredericia Furniture. The chair is a fine example of the use of solid, natural materials. The classic dining chair is made of high-quality oak and flawless saddle leather that only gets more beautiful with time. Depending on the look you want to give The Spanish Dining Chair, you can choose oak in several finishes: black lacquered, red lacquered, sanded, and oiled. The saddle leather comes in black, natural, and cognac. The chair is also available in an armrest version.

It is ironic that one of the most symbolic pieces of Danish design is called the Spanish chair. When Mogensen made the Spanish Dining Chair and the other chairs in the series, he drew on traditional chairs from other cultures, such as English Windsor chairs and the shaker movement in America. In Spain, sturdy leather was often used to construct the seat as part of the wooden structure, and it is from this that the furniture gets its name.
