J-Series 104 Dining Chair is HAY's reproduction of Jørgen Bækmark's J104 — a design conceived as a hybrid between a dining chair and an easy chair, achieving a seated comfort appropriate to extended dining use while maintaining the practical compact proportions of a dining format. Bækmark's J104 is a significant piece in the canon of Danish Modern furniture design, representing a considered response to the question of how a dining chair can provide more generous seated support without requiring the floor area or visual weight of a lounge chair.

HAY's reproduction is crafted in solid oak or beech — the same natural wood materials appropriate to the original's design intent — and available in a variety of oiled, natural, or coloured finishes that allow the chair to be adapted to different interior material and colour directions. The solid wood construction provides both the structural integrity and the tactile, natural material quality that gives the J104 its character, and HAY's production standards ensure the chair is executed with the precision and craft the design demands.

The J-Series 104 is well suited to residential dining rooms and kitchen settings where a solid wood dining chair of genuine Danish Modern heritage and elevated seated comfort is the brief. Its hybrid dining-lounge character also makes it appropriate for settings where the chair will be used for extended periods of seated conversation or relaxed dining, and its solid wood construction gives it a material authenticity valued in both residential and design-conscious hospitality environments.

Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
