The J186 Hesbjerg by design duo Unit10 for FDB Møbler is a modern reinterpretation of the Nordic tradition: understated details, honest materials, aesthetic lightness. Oiled oak and a woven paper cord seat make it a comfortable, ergonomic dining chair warm enough for any room in the home.

Common Questions
Is the Hesbjerg comfortable for long dinners?
Yes — comfort and ergonomics were the design brief. The paper cord seat breathes and gives slightly, and the proportions invite hours around the table rather than a quick meal.
What inspired the design?
The golden age of Danish design and its pure, noble materials — Unit10 drew on that history and named the chair for Hesbjerg, the Zealand ridge where their family kept a summer house.
