    FDB or the Danish Cooperative Wholesale Society had begun a movement in the 1950s to make well-designed, attractive, affordable furniture that could be built in factories for everyday use, very much in the spirit the Shaker movement in the USA.The society set up its own factory, FDB Mobler, and made Borge Mogensen head of the project. Apprenticed as a cabinetmaker, Mogensen had worked for Klint and is now recognised as one of the most important designers of his generation to make the 'Danish style' known throughout the world. Folke Palsson was one of three designers working under Mogenson and this design dates from 1963 ~ known as the J77 chair, it has become recognised as a classic ... possibly the 'coolest' designed stick-back dining chair you can buy.
     
    They embody everything you would expect in classic Danish design ~ elegant, simple, great proportions with wonderful understated detailing ~ the fantastic squared seat, the subtle but so comfortable cut-out to the bar seat-back, and the angle of the tapered legs matching the back-rest. Chairs you would never tire of owning. The tapered legs all unscrew.
