J45 SKALChair by Børge Mogensen

So fresh it could have been designed yesterday, the J45 dining chair can actually claim nearly 70 years of history. Børge Mogensen brought it to life in 1950, creating a timeless design that maintains its attraction to this day.

A Stylish and Comfortable Choice for Your Dining Room
In its early days, this chair was revolutionary. It also happens to stand out from the slightly squarer chairs and sofas that Børge Mogensen would later become known for. But the J45 has achieved the status of a trademark work, illustrating a beautiful interplay between nature and design.
The chair's distinctive backrest forms an organic shell with a slight spring and lean, making it very comfortable to sit in.

FDB Møbler’s First Architect
Mogensen is one of the best-known Danish furniture designers today. He was just 28 years old when he was hired as FDB Møbler's first architect, but even then – in 1942 – it was obvious that he was a forward-thinking talent.
By the time he created his own design studio eight years later, he had laid the cornerstone for a golden age in Danish furniture design, with FDB Møbler as part of it.
