The iconic BM0121 Dining Table, meticulously designed by Danish master Børge Mogensen for Carl Hansen & Son, represents the perfect marriage of timeless elegance and pragmatic functionality. First unveiled at the 1952 Copenhagen Arts and Crafts Spring Exhibition, this ingenious circular dining table was Mogensen's thoughtful solution for compact urban living spaces—a design philosophy that resonates perfectly with today's apartment dwellers and minimalist enthusiasts.
As the first extendable circular table in Carl Hansen & Son's prestigious Mogensen collection, the BM0121 showcases the designer's signature "democratic design" approach, making refined craftsmanship accessible for everyday living. The table's remarkably light visual expression comes from its precisely calibrated proportions: a slender 19mm thick tabletop, subtly tapered legs, and an upward-curving apron that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but provides additional legroom for comfortable dining experiences.
Crafted from FSC-certified solid oak, the BM0121 dining table embodies Scandinavian sustainability principles while delivering exceptional durability. The table's innovative engineering includes concealed steel profiles beneath the surface, ensuring structural integrity through years of family gatherings, dinner parties, and daily use in your dining room, breakfast nook, or open-concept living space.
The BM0121 transforms effortlessly from an intimate four-person dining table to a generous six-person entertaining surface with the addition of Mogensen's cleverly designed . This thoughtful adaptability exemplifies why Mogensen earned his reputation as "the people's designer"—creating versatile, functional pieces that adjust to human needs rather than imposing limitations.
Whether paired with mid-century dining chairs for a cohesive Danish Modern aesthetic or mixed with contemporary seating for an eclectic collector's approach, the BM0121 Dining Table stands as a centerpiece investment that will enhance your dining experience for generations to come.
