Mogens Lassen

Mogens Lassen (20 February 1901 – 14 December 1987) was a Modernist Danish architect and designer, working within the idiom of the International Style.

He mainly designed residential buildings, both in the form of single-family houses and apartment blocks.

[1] During a stay in Paris in 1927 to 1928, where he worked for the Danish company Christiani & Nielsen, he became acquainted with Le Corbusier's revolutionary works which inspired him to design innovative modern houses in reinforced concrete on his return to Denmark.

As a result of his fine craftsmanship and his search for simplicity, his steel-based furniture from the 1930s added a new dimension to the modernist movement.

His later designs in wood still form part of classical Danish Modern, especially his three-legged stool[2] and folding Egyptian coffee table (1940) originally produced by A. J.
