Info about the product

The ideas behind Børge Mogensen's old J45 dining chair seem completely relevant and in step with the times today. The chair reflects the shapes of nature and the material wood and combines stylish design with comfort. It was an almost revolutionary idea when FDB Møbler launched the J45 in 1950. The chair also stands out from what Børge Mogensen later became known for: the slightly square chairs and sofas. The characteristic backrest, which forms an organic shell, leans back slightly and springs slightly, making the chair very comfortable. An iconic piece that both shows the interplay between nature and design and tells the story of the early work of one of our most famous furniture designers. A stylish choice for the dining room.
Børge Mogensen - FDB Møbler

Børge Mogensen

Børge Mogensen (1914–1972) was one of the most important and influential representatives of Danish furniture design. Almost everyone in Denmark has experienced his designs – from the well-known, modern FDB furniture of the 1940s to countless classics that have furnished both homes and public spaces in Denmark since the Second World War.

Børge Mogensen believed that furniture should fit the human being, rather than the other way around and that functional quality furniture is paramount. The entire range of his furniture designs – sofas, dining tables and dining chairs – is distinguished by a recurring theme: simple lines, solid wooden surfaces and soft, shell cordovan leather. Modern design with a distinguished history.
