MID-CENTURY DANISH MODERN DESIGN FURNITURE - LIBRAY TABLE BY BORGE MOGENSEN

In 1958, Borge Mogensen, the legendary Danish design masters, designed an extendable table called Library Table. By raising and securing the hinged leaves at either end, the length of the table could be doubled. When not in use, the hinged leaves fold down to hang vertically.


Inspired by Shaker Movement functionality and utilitarianism, and inspired by the English gateleg table dating back to the Baroque period this exquisite and clean design, which adds the essence of minimalist and functional Scandinavian modern design, is considered as one of Mogensen's iconic designs.


Today, you can also see this versatile and modest design in Mogensen's former residence.

Do you still remember what you were doing in 1996?  24 years ago, a lovely newlywed couple on their honeymoon in Denmark, amazed by the beauty of Scandinavian Design, they decided to open an antique store soon after they came back to Hong Kong. "What are we gonna name it, Paul?" "How about Manks? From your last name,  Man ." And there it is, that is how the adventure and story began. As a pioneer in Scandinavian Design, they were quite confident about their ideas at first . "Actually the business was unique, attracting a discerning group of customers who likes beautiful things. We were, however, making small revenue in the beginning. Come to think of it, it was a little bit too early to open our shop", Mr Fung could not help laughing when reminiscing about the early years, "It was actually quite tough for us to survive in the first few ye...
