J18 Chair

The J18 chair was designed by Børge Mogensen in 1945. Like Mogensen’s other well-known FDB chairs, this model is distinguished by its clean, Nordic design with no decoration or unnecessary trimmings, and where the focus is on function and simplicity. The comfortable chair was inspired by the old eighteenth-century English Windsor chairs. The solid backrest continues into the armrests, which fit under most tabletops. The comfortable, bowl-shaped wooden seat slopes gently backwards.

Børge Mogensen (1914–1972) was the founding Creative Manager of FDB Møbler in 1942 and one of Denmark's most influential furniture designers. A student of Kaare Klint, he championed simple, functional, and durable wooden furniture—making beautiful design accessible to everyday families.
