Børge Mogensen Concept: J39 One of Børge Mogensen's probably most popular dining table chairs is J39, which is also perhaps better known by the name Folkestolen. Børge Mogensen designed J39 back in 1947, as part of his collection of functional quality furniture, which was furniture that should work in every house. A criterion that this chair clearly met. J39 was dubbed the Folkestolen, as it was so versatile that it fit into almost every imaginable composition, and was therefore also an extremely popular chair among the Danish people. The chair's simple design is a clear example of Børge Mogensen's style, which focused on functionality and quality above all. The chair's simplicity gives it a very special character, while the simple materials it is made of, oak and paper yarn, give it distinct quality. Even today, Folkestolen is an extremely modern chair, and can also be found in many places around the world, not at exhibitions, but rather in use, from restaurants and cafes to public places and private homes, just as Børge Mogensen intended.
