Chair Model J39 in Beech and Wicker Seat by Børge Mogensen for FDB, 1940s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

J39 is a chair with generously dimensioned proportions with extremely good comfort. Mogensen's motto was that you should be able to sit comfortably and change your sitting position without problems.

The chair was designed by the famous Danish designer Børge Mogensen in 1947 and is a timeless piece of furniture that can easily be combined with both the Mogensen dining table and other modern tables of different cuts! Mogensen is known for his minimalistic and innovative design classics that are still as relevant today, and which really withstand both the eye's consideration and the user's wear and tear over time. His design language is easily recognisable, characterized by solid craftsmanship and carefully selected material choices of the highest quality. Every detail in his design is well thought out and contributes to a functional and aesthetically pleasing whole. There is absolutely nothing to tire of, and every time you see or use these pieces of furniture, they evoke a sense of timeless elegance and practical beauty!

The chair is made of solid beech which provides a stable and durable construction, and the seat is hand-braided in natural colored paper cord. This string has been treated with an environmentally friendly soap and wax, and gives the seat not only a beautiful and unique look, but also provides a high degree of resistance to stains and dirt.

The legs of the chair are connected all around, which provides extremely good stability.

The chairs are manufactured by BDF in Denmark.

48 cm wide and 45-76 cm high.

In very good condition with minimal traces of use both on the frame and the braiding, can basically be considered unused!

About the Creator

Børge Mogensen

Designer Børge Mogensen was born in Aalborg, Denmark in 1914. He studied furniture design at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts under esteemed Professor Kaare Klint from 1936–38. Next, he studied at the School of Furniture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1938–41, where he also served as Klint’s teaching assistant. In 1942, Mogensen became head of design at the Danish Consumers Coöperative Society (FDB). He opened his own design office in 1950, and was one of a handful of designers who helped define and popularize the notion of modern Danish design.

Mogensen’s aesthetic was clean and highly functional. He was driven to create affordable, practical designs, and his preferred material was wood. Clients included Fredericia Stolefabrik, Fritz Hansen, and Søborg Møbelfabrik, among others. Notable projects include Spokeback Sofa (1945), and Spanish Chair (1959), as well as a variety of shelving and storage designs. He was honored with the Eckersberg Medal in 1950, the annual prize from the Copenhagen Carpentry Guild in 1953, and the C.F. Hansen Medal in 1972.

Mogensen passed away in Denmark in 1972.
