BM5768 Deck Chair Footstool
Made by Carl Hansen & Søn
Designed by Børge Mogensen
Børge Mogensen designed with a rare economy of gesture. The BM5768 Footstool distills that sensibility into a single outdoor form: a slatted teak frame, clean in proportion, unhurried in character.
Crafted from untreated, FSC-certified teak, the piece develops a natural silver-grey patina over time, a quality Mogensen welcomed rather than resisted. The weather-resistant cushion adds comfort without softening the structural clarity of the design.
- Conceived as a companion to Mogensen's BM5565 and BM5568 Deck Chairs
- FSC-certified teak frame, untreated, built for outdoor exposure
- Functions independently as a stool or low seat
- Cushion upholstered in weather-resistant fabric
Mogensen's outdoor work for Carl Hansen & Søn carries the same discipline as his interiors: nothing added that the form does not require. The BM5768 is a quiet object that rewards placement, whether on a terrace, beside a pool, or as a standalone accent in a garden setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What teak finish does the BM5768 Footstool come in?
The BM5768 is crafted from untreated FSC-certified teak, which is left in its natural state. Over time and with outdoor exposure, the wood develops a distinguished silver-grey patina that many designers consider part of the piece's character.
Does the BM5768 work with Mogensen's deck chairs?
Yes. Mogensen designed the BM5768 as a companion to the BM5565 and BM5568 Deck Chairs, sharing the same slatted teak frame and proportional language. It can also stand independently as a low stool or occasional seat.
How do I care for an untreated teak outdoor piece?
Untreated teak requires little maintenance. To preserve its warm honey tone, apply a teak oil annually. If you prefer the natural silver-grey patina, simply allow the piece to weather. A mild soap and water clean each season is sufficient either way.
Is the BM5768 cushion removable and outdoor-rated?
The cushion is upholstered in weather-resistant fabric suited for outdoor use and is designed to be removed for storage during extended periods of rain or off-season.
Who was Børge Mogensen and why does his work endure?
Børge Mogensen (1914-1972) was a Danish architect and furniture designer whose work is defined by structural honesty and deep respect for craft traditions. Trained under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy, he sought furniture that served daily life without pretense, a philosophy that gives his designs their lasting relevance.
