J138 Folding chair
Designed in 1978 and relaunched by FDB Møbler, which first produced it, this chair folds completely flat between uses.
Erik Ole Jørgensen — trained as both an upholsterer and a furniture designer — gave the J138 a solid oak frame, nature oiled, with a seat and back of 100% linen certified to OEKO-TEX. FDB Møbler has tested it to 100 kg (220 lbs), so the extra chair you pull out for guests is as dependable as the ones already at the table.

Common Questions
How much weight can the folding chair hold?
The J138 is tested to 100 kg — about 220 lbs — so it serves as genuine extra seating for dinners and gatherings, not just an occasional perch.
Is the seat linen or webbing?
Both seat and back are 100% linen, certified to OEKO-TEX — a woven natural textile that stays taut in use and keeps the chair light at 13.2 lbs.
How compact is it when folded?
The chair folds completely flat, so it slides behind a door, under a bed, or into a closet between visits; unfolded it stands 23.2 in wide and 34.6 in tall.
