Børge Mogensen was born in Aalborg, Denmark first training as a cabinetmaker in 1934,and studied furniture design at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen from 1936-38, and then at the Furniture School of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1938-41 Mogensen studied under Karre clint.
Between 1942 and 1950 he was head of FDB’s furniture design studio,after which he found his own design studio in 1950.
Borge Mogensen was commited to producing classical,simple and highly functional antique furniture,Mogensen exhibited almost every year at the Copenhagen Cabinetmaker's Guild Exhibitions. He was also the Head of Furniture Design during the 1940s for the Danish Cooperative Wholesale Society. His furniture, strongly representative of his training as a traditional craftsman, with its simple clean lnes was greatly appreciated by a public who had not yet become interested in modernism and the changes its influence had created on furniture design.
Mogensen appeased these sceptics with his classical designs A 1951 interior for the Cabinetmaker's show combined Danish oak with leather upholstery and slate tiling in a way that articulated a new grouping of materials. "This is Where We Live, " a family room set he designed in 1953, dealt with the new concept of a living room.
Mogensen also collaborated extensively with weaver Lis Ahlmann on textile designs, and,after His Mentor karre Clints death in 1954, succeeded him as designer to the Danish Museum of Decorative Art.
