Info about the product

Børge Mogensen was already referencing historical classics when he designed J52B, his take on the English Windsor chair, in 1952. The Windsor chair was a solid and comfortable chair with roots in 16th-century England, and here FDB Møbler's head designer tried to lighten the expression with a range of simple staves. The result was a very comfortable chair with a simple and functional expression. The chair was reportedly President Kennedy's favorite chair to relax in. It can be used both as a dining chair and as a lounge chair.

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.
