PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
J80 by Jørgen Bækmark:
An iconic dining chair from the only surviving designer from the FDB Møbler design studio, Jørgen Bækmark. Designed in the 1950s, it tells its story just as vividly today.
• Comfortable and refined
• Designed in the 1950s
• Black-lacquered beech with natural papercord seat
This classic dining chair takes its rightful place at the table, welcoming you to stay comfortably seated even after the meal. It is equally suited for use at a dining table or as freestanding furniture.
A Chair to Last Generations
Jørgen Bækmark faced two challenges: first, to create a chair targeted at FDB Møbler’s more mature customers, and second, to make the most of the production methods that the factory in Tarm was so good at.
His solution was the refined J80, designed with turned oak bars, steamed back, and handwoven seat. The chair fits perfectly with our substantial C28 table and is also available in a slightly wider version with armrests, the J81.
