J48 Chair - Black

Two rounded back pads instead of one — Volther's 1951 comfort trick, in oak and black leather.

The J48 from FDB Møbler has been among the range's most popular chairs since 1951. This single chair combines nature-oiled solid oak with a black Anica/Fiesta leather seat; the separate rounded backrests echo Volther's later Corona chair.

Materials

Solid oak, nature oiled; seat upholstered in black leather (Anica/Fiesta 0314)

Dimensions

19.1 in W x 18.9 in D x 31.5 in H; 12.1 lbs

Designer

Poul M. Volther, 1951

Certifications

FDB Møbler is a Certified B Corporation

Common Questions

Is the J48 comfortable for long dinners?
Yes — the two rounded backrests support the back at separate points and the leather seat adds give, a combination that made it a decades-long favorite.

How does leather change the chair's upkeep?
The black leather seat wipes clean and grows suppler with use, while the oiled oak frame can be refreshed with oil — both finishes are made to age, not wear out.

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.
