FDB CHAIR
By Folke Pålsson, Jørgen Bækmark
& Poul M. Volther

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.
INTRODUCTION

LACQUERED WOOD
• Wipe with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a
solution of water and a neutral detergent. Remove
soap residue immediately using a clean, dry cloth.
• If the surface is scratched or appears matt, use a
care product especially suited to lacquered wood.
• Avoid using detergents containing silicone, as they
seal the stain in and make subsequent repairs more
difficult.
• Avoid using scouring cream or scouring pads, as
they may scratch the surface.
SOAPED WOOD
• Wipe with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a
solution of water and a neutral detergent or soap
flakes. Remove soap residue immediately using a
clean, dry cloth.
• To remove stains, clean and scrub using a thick
solution of soap flakes that should not stay on the
wood for more than two minutes. Then remove the
remaining soap residue using a damp cloth.
• If the grain of the wood rises after cleaning, gently
sand down the wood using fine-grit sandpaper (No.
220), always going with the grain.
• If the surface is scratched or appears matt, use a
care product especially suited to soaped wood.
CAUTION
With a little care you can prolong the life of your
furniture. Follow the instructions for the materials of
your specific product to make sure that it stays in
the best shape for as long as possible.
The information below is only intended as a general
guideline. For more information on how to remove
specific stains, please enquire where you bought
the furniture.
• Always remove stains quickly before they can do
any permanent damage to the furniture.
• Avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight or
near a strong heat source to reduce changes. As
wood is a natural material, it will change in colour
and will patinate over time.
• When you move your furniture, make sure you lift it
rather than pulling or pushing it to avoid damaging
the floor, legs and mountings.
• Tighten up the screws after one to two months’
use and whenever required.
• Avoid improper use such as sitting on the back
or armrests, tilting the seats on their back legs,
putting your feet on the furniture or standing on it.
• Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface
with sharp objects.
• Check the status of the gliders frequently and
if worn down, contact your local retailer to buy
replacements. The durability of the gliders will
depend on the surface the chair is placed on.
