Price History
Description
Fans of vintage Scandinavian design will be delighted: Hay has reissued the furniture in the FDB collection, iconic pieces developed by leading Danish designers between the 1940s and 1960s. The J41 (without armrests) and J42 (with armrests) chairs, both Danish classics, were designed in 1933 by Børge Mogensen when he was design director of the FDB. This Danish consumers' cooperative was established in 1933 with the aim of offering the public designer furniture at an affordable price. FDV revolutionised industrial design and was responsible for many iconic Danish designs. Børge Mogensen retained the main features of the traditional Windsor chair: including the use of wood and the back created from fine spindles. This gives the great classic cleaner, more modern lines of Scandinavian inspiration. The assembly of spindles provides a balanced and wonderfully graceful openwork structure. You’ll love the very graphic effect created by this decorative little chair. Børge Mogensen was incredibly prolific and was responsible for many Danish design classics from the 1950s and 1960s. His simple, high quality furniture with its timeless appeal won him numerous international prizes. Some of his designs are exhibited in major museums around the world.
Our Stylist Says
I love this J42 chair for its vintage charm and versatility. Its green hue adds a refreshing pop of colour, making it a great statement piece in both modern and traditional interiors. It works particularly well in kitchens with a Scandinavian or cottage style, where its simple yet timeless design complements natural materials and light colour palettes. For practical styling, pair it with a neutral or soft-tone dining table to let the chair stand out, and consider mixing it with other classic furniture pieces to create an eclectic feel. Its shape also makes it comfortable for everyday use, while its colour keeps it dynamic and fresh.
