J81 Chair - Smoked Oak

FDB Møbler has been shaping the story of Danish design since 1942—when visionary designer Børge Mogensen set out to create furniture that was both beautiful and accessible to everyday families. Rooted in democratic design principles, every piece from FDB Møbler reflects a belief that good design should improve daily life through craftsmanship, simplicity, and lasting quality.

Today, that philosophy continues with collections built to stand the test of time—crafted in FSC®-certified wood, responsibly produced textiles, and durable finishes designed for generations of use. Guided by the same spirit that defined Denmark’s modern design movement, FDB Møbler remains dedicated to sustainability not as a trend, but as a natural extension of quality and integrity. Their furniture embodies a quiet elegance—honest materials, thoughtful proportions, and enduring craftsmanship that make sustainable living feel effortless.

The J81 Chair by FDB Møbler is a refined expression of Danish design heritage, originally created in 1962 by renowned designer Jørgen Bækmark. Part of his iconic woven series—which includes the celebrated J80 dining chair—the J81 carries forward the elegance and functionality that defined FDB Møbler’s golden age. Crafted in smoked, FSC-certified oak with a hand-woven natural paper cord seat, the chair balances sculptural simplicity with everyday comfort. Its gentle armrests and supportive seat make it ideal both at the dining table and as a standalone accent chair.

True to Bækmark’s philosophy, the J81 is built with materials chosen for longevity and a warm, natural presence. It meets EN 1022, EN 12520 and EN 16139 (L1) standards for strength and general use, and is certified with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel—one of the most rigorous sustainability standards in Scandinavia. Timeless, durable, and deeply considered, the J81 brings craftsmanship and quiet sophistication into any home, offering a piece of Danish design history meant to be lived with for decades.
