BM5568 deck chair with cushion, teak - Heritage Papyrus 18006
Description
Carl Hansen & Søn's BM5568 deck chair was designed by Danish master Børge Mogensen, who originally created the wooden lounger for his own balcony in the 1960s. Made of certified teak, the chair's clean lines and natural character suit a wide range of outdoor settings. Comfort is ensured by the slatted seat that follows the body's contours, paired with a generously sized cushion made from water- and dirt-repellent Sunbrella fabric – partially crafted from recycled materials.
The BM5568 chair has a gently reclining backrest and a lightweight, foldable frame that's easy to move or store. Untreated teak is naturally weather-resistant and develops a beautiful patina over time, helping the chair blend seamlessly into its surroundings. To preserve the wood's warm tone, the surface can be treated regularly with oil.

Børge Mogensen (1914–1972) stands among Denmark’s most influential furniture designers and key pioneers of Danish modernism. Having studied furniture design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Mogensen set out to create pieces defined by functionality, a stripped-back aesthetic and true accessibility. Shortly after graduating, he was appointed head of design at the FDB consumer cooperative, where the mission was clear: to produce practical, durable and affordable furniture for people across all walks of life.
Børge Mogensen – at the heart of Danish modernism
Børge Mogensen’s work is defined by a democratic mindset and an effortless command of human-centred proportions – he believed that great design should serve as many people as possible and stand the test of time.
Mogensen trained as a furniture designer at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, where he studied under the renowned designer and architect Kaare Klint. He graduated in 1942 and began his career shortly afterwards at the FDB consumer cooperative.
Functionality and honest materials
Mogensen’s furniture can be described as both strikingly modest and immensely self-assured, and the same could be said of his personality. His work also reveals influences from folk art, lithography and Japanese woodblock prints.
Mogensen enjoyed working with traditional natural materials, but he was equally keen to explore new techniques and championed efficient industrial furniture production.
A pioneer of Nordic design
Throughout his career, Børge Mogensen collaborated closely with several Danish manufacturers. He is especially known for the furniture originally produced by the FDB consumer cooperative, now manufactured by FDB Møbler. Mogensen’s wooden furniture can also be found in the collections of Fredericia and Carl Hansen & Søn. Mogensen’s thinking had a lasting influence on how Nordic furniture design is understood today.
Over the course of his career, Mogensen received prestigious honours including the Eckersberg Medal and the C.F. Hansen Medal, and in 1972 he was awarded the British distinction Honorary Royal Designer for Industry.
