HAY J77 dining chair is part of a relaunch of the Danish furniture classics originally made for FDB (The Danish Consumers’ Co-operative Society). Functionalist and democratic design for the people - that was the main idea behind the furniture production started by FDB in the 1940s.
Folke Palsson was born in Denmark and was part of the FDB design collective. FDB was founded after the Second World War and their aim was to make affordable furniture for everyday use following the lead of the German design house - Bauhaus. Palsson is especially known for the J77-chair, which Hay started reproducing in 2011.
