Description

Model 244 is a chest of drawers designed by Børge Mogensen in the 1950s for FDB Møbler. It forms part of the storage furniture system Mogensen developed during his time at FDB. The FDB furniture programme aimed to provide modern furniture of good quality at reasonable prices for ordinary households. For this reason, its designs emphasized simple construction, balanced proportions, and the possibility of serial production, rather than decorative form.

The chest is built as an upright rectangular case, with multiple drawers arranged across the front and brass pulls used as subtle details. The drawer fronts project slightly beyond the surface of the case and overlap the surrounding frame, making the front edges appear visually slimmer and giving the cabinet a clearer outline. This treatment is not decorative in itself, but rather a way of refining the proportions through structure and layering, allowing the piece to retain a simple form while still displaying a carefully considered sense of proportion.

Furniture of this type was often conceived together with bookcases, tables, and chairs as part of a complete interior furnishing system, rather than as an isolated object. In Mogensen’s design practice, storage furniture was just as important as tables and chairs, because his concern was not limited to individual furniture pieces, but extended to the arrangement of furniture and everyday living within the modern home. Model 244 may therefore be understood not only as a chest of drawers, but also as part of Mogensen’s broader furniture system for modern domestic life.
