HAY’s reproduction of Børge Mogensen’s classic J41 chair has a slightly slanted backrest and widely-spaced spindles creating an uncluttered design that offers a timeless quality. With a broad plywood seat and frame in solid oak or beech, the design is both hard-wearing and comfortable. 

Designed to recreate the classic FBD furniture collection, the J-Series offers a functional design born out of industrial development. FDB created a strong furniture concept in 1933, and under Børge Mogensen’s leadership as design director from 1942, the FDB furniture linked industrial production closely with architectural furniture design.

The primary focus was not on detailing, but on making well-designed furniture accessible to the general population. The industrial approach eliminated the need for special components and all chairs featured identical legs. FDB revolutionised the industry as a precursor of many of the design icons that Denmark is acknowledged for today around the world.

Available in oiled or water-based lacquered finishes. The J41 chair is not a knock-down item and comes fully assembled.
