The J53 easy chair by FDB Møbler showcases furniture architect Poul M. Volther’s signature design philosophy at its purest: simple and functional. Introduced in 1953, the armchair marked a departure from the era’s preference for bulky, fully upholstered furniture dominating living rooms. Instead, the J53 features a lightweight, modern aesthetic. While its seat and backrest are upholstered in fabric, the elegant oak frame takes centre stage. Equally at home in today’s minimalist interiors or as a refreshing contrast in more traditional spaces, the J53 armchair brings effortless elegance to any room.

Designer
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.
