J53 - Armchair Monza Beige

In 1953 it broke with the overstuffed living room; in 2024 it came back to finish the argument.

Poul M. Volther's J53 armchair — launched in 1953 alongside a 2-seater sofa while he was head of design at FDB Møbler — traded heavy upholstery for light, functionalist lines that several major makers soon imitated. Relaunched in 2024, this version pairs a nature-oiled oak frame with Monza Beige 00 upholstery.

Materials

Solid oak, nature oiled; Monza Beige 00 upholstery

Designer

Poul M. Volther, 1953

Made by

FDB Møbler, Denmark's cooperative design studio since 1942

Common Questions

What made the J53 radical in 1953?
It abandoned the fully upholstered furniture that had ruled living rooms for decades — an exposed wood frame with slim cushions, light enough to move and modern enough to copy.

Is it a reading chair or an occasional chair?
Both — the open armchair format suits daily reading corners, while the light frame moves easily when the room rearranges for guests.

How do I care for oiled oak arms?
Wipe with a damp cloth and re-oil lightly once or twice a year; the oiled finish lets small marks be buffed out rather than showing through lacquer.

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.
