J53 Armchair by FDB Møbler
J53 was designed by furniture architect Poul M. Volther in 1953. The design was originally launched as both an armchair and a 2-seater sofa, representing a break with the design tradition of the time where fully upholstered furniture had dominated living rooms for decades. The time was right for lighter and more modern furniture, which perfectly suited Volther's simple and functionalist design language. When the chair was launched in 1953, Poul M. Volther was head of design at FDB Møbler, and in the wake of the presentation, several major manufacturers launched similar designs. Relaunching in 2024, the J53 is retrospective and relevant at the same time and is one of many great chairs from Volther's hand that remind us of our history and heritage.
