J166 Jørna Armchair by Poul M. Volther
The Jørna armchair has a sweet story behind it. Danish architect Poul M. Volther designed the chair with his wife, Jørna, in mind. He wanted to create a comfy chair in which she could relax and do her knitting.

Classic Chair with Plenty of Room
Just as Volther intended, the Jørna is a spacious armchair with plenty of room for knitting, reading the paper, or working on your laptop. Relax and stretch out –this classic wooden-barred armchair has all the space you need.

By the Designer of the Corona Chair
In 1950, Poul M. Volther assumed the position of design supervisor for FDB Møbler, succeeding acclaimed designer Børge Mogensen. As his predecessor had done, Volther became one of the most iconic furniture originators of the golden age of Danish design. Volther trained and worked as a cabinetmaker before becoming a furniture designer. He combined that practical knowledge of the manufacturing process with an aesthetic that emphasized simple, timeless designs. Among the results were several classic pieces of furniture, including the Jørna and the famous Corona armchair.
