The FDB furniture series offers functional design born out
of industrial development. FDB created a strong furniture
concept in 1933, and under Børge Mogensen’s leadership
as design director from 1942, the FDB furniture linked
industrial production closely with architectural furniture
design. The primary focus was not on detailing, but on
making well-designed furniture accessible to the general
population. The industrial approach eliminated the need
for special components and all chairs featured identical
legs. FDB revolutionised the industry as a precursor of
many of the design icons that Denmark is acknowledged
for today around the world.
