An expandable shelving system that can be rebuilt, built on, and adapted to individual storage needs and changing room sizes.

In Production Since 2020

A Forgotten Drawing, Realized

A design decades in waiting

Carl Hansen & Son expanded its Borge Mogensen collection with a flexible storage system that had never before been in production. Working in collaboration with Mogensen's family, the house gave life to a set of the designer's forgotten drawings.

The result is an expandable shelving system that can be rebuilt, built on, and adapted to individual storage needs and changing room sizes, a piece that reaches out and invites personalization, exactly as Mogensen intended it.

The Designer

One of Denmark's most important furniture designers

Borge Mogensen left behind an extensive and multifaceted design legacy. Carl Hansen & Son's collection of furniture classics already includes a number of his functionalist pieces, and BM0253 adds a storage piece to that story, one built for individual use rather than a single fixed form.

The Build

Simplicity as structure

The flexible, multifunctional shelving system is the embodiment of simplicity: veneered shelves of varying sizes and a wooden cabinet, all assembled using a frame of cylindrical metal bars in different lengths.

Veneered Shelves

Shelves of varying sizes combine according to your needs, open storage that adapts to what you actually keep on display.

Wooden Cabinet Module

Closed cabinet modules pair with the open shelving, giving you the option to store as well as display.

Cylindrical Metal Frame

Bars of different lengths form the structure, and the blend of open and closed modules creates a rhythmic, transparent expression.
