Original Product Description:
the Hay J104 Chair, a versatile and timeless piece that blurs the lines between a dining chair and an easy chair. Originally designed by Jørgen Bækmark in the 1960s, this chair features a unique composition that combines a wide back and seat with a light, vertical graphic expression. The result is a sculptural classic of mid-century modern design that complements contemporary dining rooms and living spaces, especially those with space constraints. The J104 Chair from the HAY J-Series recreates the iconic FDB furniture collection, which originated in 1933 with an industrial approach to furniture design. Børge Mogensen''s leadership as design director from 1942 further linked industrial production with architectural furniture design, democratising well-designed furniture for the general population. The J104 chair exemplifies this philosophy, providing both functional design and affordability. Inspired by the Windsor style, Jørgen Bækmark crafted the J104 Chair to exude elegance and timelessness. The filigree bars of the backrest and the traditional wood manufacturing, characteristic of Windsor chairs from the 18th century, meet a modern interpretation, creating a delicate yet sturdy chair. The wide seat and curved backrest ensure an unusually comfortable dining experience, and the reduced design retains its contemporary appeal. With its seat height of 44.5 cm, the J104 Chair is ideal for use at dining tables, providing a comfortable and supportive seating solution. The spindle structure of the back adds a light and airy feel to the overall design, making it a sculptural classic that complements any interior space. The FDB furniture series, including the J104 Chair, pioneered the concept of knock-down furniture, offering pieces that come in a box and can be easily assembled by the user. Today, HAY continues the legacy of democratic values set by FDB, making well-designed and functional furniture accessible to all. Embrace the beauty and versatility of the Hay J104 Chair, a fusion of timeless design and contemporary functionality.
