J163 Piano Bench
Relaunched for Jørgen Bækmark's 90th birthday, this woven bench sits a few centimeters taller than his 1950s original.
The J163 piano bench from FDB Møbler combines a nature-lacquered oak frame with a woven paper cord seat — Bækmark's characteristic pairing. It earns its keep far from any piano: at the dining table, in the hallway, or wherever a 39-inch bench fits and a bulkier seat would not.
Materials

Common Questions
Where does the J163 work besides a piano?
Anywhere a slim 39.4-inch bench helps: extra dining seating, an entryway seat for putting on shoes, or under a window. The 19.3-inch seat height matches standard table seating.
Why was the bench made taller?
FDB Møbler raised Bækmark's original design by a few centimeters for the relaunch because average heights have increased since the 1950s — the proportions stayed, the fit improved.
