J46 Chair Burnt Red by P. M. Volther for FDB Møbler

The J46 chair from 1956 is one of FDB Møbler’s best-selling products. It is estimated that more than 800,000 pieces of Poul Volther’s enduring classic have either stood or are standing in Danish homes. The chair is distinguished by its elegant design and high level of sitting comfort, whether used as a kitchen or dining chair. Adapted to today’s body sizes, the chair can also be supplied with a leather or textile cushion as an accessory.

„Furniture ought to make room for people” - that has been the philosophy of FDB Møbler since 1942, when it was established, with architect Børge Mogensen heading up the studio. Many new designers have since entered the fold, but the foundational principles remain the same: To create beautiful, functional and exceptionally crafted furniture that makes room for everyday living at home.  And that can withstand everyday wear and tear to age gracefully with those who use them. FDB Møbler is internationally known as a frontrunner of Danish design. It’s a story of classic pieces to be passed down from generation to generation. In fact, every new piece of FDB Møbler is born as an heirloom. The values that FDB Møbler was founded upon continue to shape every piece of oak and beech. They are woven into the seats and are upheld in each design, both when ever-popular classics are re-issued from the brand’s design archives, and when FDB launches brand new designs. Regardless of whether we are talking about iconic pieces from FDB Møbler’s classic collections or new, innovative designs, the goal is the same: To have the veritable quality of life that was envisioned when the first pieces of furniture emerged from the studio in 1942.
