Filled with his own furniture (many are early prototypes), pieces by other contemporaries of his like Kaare Klint and Poul Henningsen, and a great art and sculpture collection, it really is a very beautiful, personal, exciting, well-loved, "un"designed home. It will be sold (or recently has been - I think Bo Bedre's article is from Dec. '11) by his children because their mother and Børge's widow Alice Mogensen has recently died. Thankfully there are these photos, taken by Børge's nephew Mads Mogensen. There are other lovely photos out there too that I will post during the week.From Bo Bedre, found thanks to Patricia Arquette's Beach Bungalow 8.
All photos by Mads Mogensen.

Wow, this home is beautiful, and I love how it is furnished - especially all of the unique chairs. It is pretty much my dream home - the wooden built in shelving, the exposed wood celing and semi-exposed brick walls. So simple and yet so unique.
Oh liza, this is so cool! Too bad it can't just remain like this...what a treasure. But you are right, at least there are these wonderful photos. The furniture is amazing, especially that pair of chairs. Thank you so much for sharing this. I will look forward to seeing more photos.
And yes, you heard right, we had another incredible day today.....it is hard to imagin snow at this point.....but you never know what could happen. Hope you are enjoying your snow!
Oh my goodness what an incredible space. I love all of the pieces. Reminds me of my Oma's home...which was designed after a Frank Lloyd Wright home. It breaks my heart because the new owners practically tore the thing down. But that's what happens I guess when you have 10 million dollars floating around. Sorry...brief rant...but it really steams me when people don't appreciate the original architecture....hopefully the new tenants treat this beautiful home well.
it truly is lovely...
happy tuesday. :)
I would also keep that house intact! So much classic beauty. And that art wall (frame to frame) is amazing.
Love to you,
Mon
