J83 is a simple, comfortable stool that is among the most iconic designs from the first golden age of FDB Møbler. Jørgen Bækmark, who was head of the FDB Møbler design studio from 1958, designed it to complement the popular J80 and J81 dining chairs, as well as the J82 lounge chair—or armchair, as it was called back in the 1960s. These pieces are part of a design that has literally proved timeless and been popular for generations. Bækmark stressed that furniture should be comfortable, and this is certainly true of the stool, too.
