Jørgen Baekmark

Jorgen Baekmark was a member of the team established at FDB Mobler by Borge Mogensen in the 1960s. FDB—the Danish Consumers Cooperative set out to develop practical and inexpensive furniture following design principles that had their origins in the German Bauhaus. Recently, furniture manufacturer HAY has begun to manufacture some of these early FDB pieces—the J104 chair, originally designed by Jorgen Baekmark in 1966, being an excellent example. The J104 range of furniture shows definite Shaker influences. Its understated simple elegance fits into any interior.
