J48 Chair Set of 2 - Black
Rounded twin backrests borrowed from Volther's own Corona chair — two J48s, leather-seated and ready.
Poul Volther's J48 dining chair, designed in 1951, became one of the most popular chairs in the FDB Møbler range. This set of two pairs nature-oiled solid oak with black Anica/Fiesta leather seats — the separate rounded backrests deliver the comfort and the signature look.
