J48 - Chair Leather Dark Brown

Dark brown leather steadies the light frame — the most grounded reading of Volther's 1951 classic.

This J48 chair sets a seat of dark brown Sevilla leather (4030) into a nature-lacquered solid oak frame. Poul M. Volther drew the design in 1951 for FDB Møbler, and its rounded, separate backrest — cousin to his Corona chair — still explains its staying power.

Common Questions

Dark brown or cognac — what is the difference?
Dark brown (Sevilla 4030) reads formal and recedes; cognac announces itself and patinas more visibly. Both sit on the identical oak frame.

Is the upholstered seat durable for daily meals?
Yes — Sevilla leather is a robust furniture hide, and the seat pad is the chair's easiest part to keep clean with a damp cloth.
