BM5568 Deck Chair with Footrest & Cushion
Made by Carl Hansen & Søn
Designed by Børge Mogensen
Børge Mogensen designed the BM5568 in the spirit that governed all his work: that the body's needs and the material's nature should determine the form. The slatted teak seat and footrest follow the body's contours without artifice, the wood doing precisely what wood does best.
Carl Hansen & Søn produces the chair in untreated, FSC-certified teak, a timber chosen for its density and its ability to age into a distinguished silver-grey patina when left to the elements. Both the chair and footrest fold flat, a gesture toward the practicality that Mogensen considered inseparable from good design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What wood is used in the BM5568 Deck Chair?
The BM5568 is crafted from untreated, FSC-certified teak, a dense hardwood prized for its natural weather resistance and the silver-grey patina it develops over time with outdoor exposure.
Does the BM5568 footrest fold for storage?
Both the deck chair and the accompanying footrest are designed to fold flat, allowing for straightforward storage during off-seasons or when space is at a premium.
Is the BM5568 cushion fabric suitable for outdoor use?
The cushion is upholstered in Sunbrella fabric, a solution-dyed acrylic material engineered for prolonged outdoor exposure, offering strong resistance to UV fading, moisture, and mildew.
Who designed the BM5568 and what is its design philosophy?
The BM5568 was designed by Børge Mogensen, the Danish modernist whose work consistently prioritized structural honesty and the user's physical experience. The slatted form is a direct response to the body's contours rather than a stylistic choice.
How should untreated teak outdoor furniture be maintained?
Untreated teak requires minimal intervention. Left outdoors, it weathers naturally to a silver-grey tone. To preserve the original warm honey color, a teak oil or sealant can be applied annually, though many owners prefer the aged patina the wood develops on its own.
