Mid Century Modern Find of the Week: Jørgen Bækmark's Model J82 Chair

We actually found this particular piece stuffed into the attic of a dilapidated barn in the Danish countryside. It was covered in a layer of ashy dust that was so thick we had no idea what kind of wood was underneath. After some heavy cleaning, the original color came back to the frame, and this is what was revealed.

This oak and paper cord lounge chair was designed by Jørgen Bækmark for FDB Møbler in 1963. 

Called the Model J82, its paper cord seat is woven around an oak frame.

Here are some detail shots so you can see how it was constructed.
