Towards the close of the last century young architects often travelled abroad on grants and stipends, and upon their return were required to present proof of what they had seen and learned. This book is a collection of such proof, with measured drawings of well-known Italian works of architecture through free art, structural drawing, and individual espression of the artist’s own view of their travel sites.

Especially famed for his Spanish Chair, Mogensen was one of the most important and influential representatives of Danish furniture design. In a career spanning more than 30 years, he created a wealth of quality furniture, many pieces of which, such as his Spanish Chair, are still sold as design classics to this day. Influenced by traditional craftsmanship, Mogensen was also often inspired by Shaker furniture and design philosophies. A restless thinker, he noted down all of his ideas immediately—whether on matchboxes, napkins or used envelopes. This magnificent monograph examines Mogensen’s fascinating approach to design and presents his most well known and most popular pieces of furniture. Workshop drawings, sketches and photographs of his furniture as well as archival pictures from his everyday life offer fascinating insight into the world of the Danish designer, whose furniture is not only attractive, but also always, above all, functional.
