Description
Originally designed in 1958, Børge Mogensen's BM0253 Shelving System is now in production for the first time at Carl Hansen & Søn. Mogensen was a pioneering Danish designer who believed in the concept of 'building furniture' ' which says that furniture should adapt over time to the user's individual needs. This shelving system is expandable and customisable, and can be built and rebuilt and suit changing storage needs and room sizes. It has veneered shelves of varying sizes in solid, oiled walnut, and a black powder-coated steel frame.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of this oiled walnut shelving system with its slim black legs - it feels both warm and architectural. The simple lines and open frame work beautifully in Scandi-inspired lounges or pared-back home offices, but it will also sit comfortably in an industrial loft or contemporary hallway.
For styling, keep shelves light and balanced: group books horizontally and vertically, introduce a couple of ceramic vases or sculptural objects, and finish with trailing greenery or a small fiddle-leaf fig. Baskets or woven boxes on the bottom shelf will add texture and hide clutter, while leaving at least one shelf partly empty helps the design breathe.

Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
