Description

FDB Møbler’s J48 chair is a 1951 classic designed by Poul M. Volther. Created during the golden era of Danish design, the chair is defined by its gently curved backrest, formed from three separate elements. Its construction echoes another Volther icon – the Corona lounge chair, recognisable by its four distinct cushions.

With its oak frame and seat upholstered in a beautifully textured wool fabric, the J48 chair pairs beautifully with a wide range of dining tables and fits effortlessly into other rooms throughout the home.

Poul M. Volther

Poul M. Volther (1923-2001) was a Danish designer, who was a member of the FDB cooperative, whose aim was to create affordable furniture for everyday use. 

Volther was a trained cabinetmaker and studied later at the Arts and Crafts School in Copenhagen. As a believer in functionalism, he avoided short-lived aesthetic styles and concentrated on simple manufacture of fine materials. His best known work is the Corona chair he designed in 1961. Still today around 3000 Corona chairs are sold annually.
