J166 Jørna Chair - Brown

Poul Volther led FDB Møbler's design studio from 1950; at home, he designed for an audience of one.

The J166 armchair is named for his wife Jørna and proportioned around her knitting — generous enough today for a laptop or tablet. This FDB Møbler version wraps the seat in Main Line Flax Brown (15) on a jet-black painted (RAL 9005) oak frame, a warm, low-contrast pairing.

Common Questions

Is the Jørna comfortable for long reading sessions?
That was its entire brief — Volther designed it as a chair to settle into with handwork or a book, with armrests and a 29.7-inch depth that support a relaxed, unhurried posture.

How does brown fabric look against the black frame?
Warm and understated: Brown (15) tones down the black frame's graphic edge, making this one of the easier colorways to place in rooms with wood floors and earth tones.

Care Guide +

FDB Møbler furniture is crafted from FSC-certified wood, powder-coated steel, and OEKO-TEX textiles. Keep away from direct heat and sunlight. Dust with a soft cloth; clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For lacquered surfaces, avoid harsh chemicals. For oiled wood, re-oil periodically. For upholstery, vacuum regularly and address spills promptly. Lift furniture rather than dragging across floors.
