Fjoon Captain's Chair
The Fjoon collection rose out of Fernweh's obsession with high-end upholstery, an infatuation with wood joinery, and principles of chair strength from the broader chair-making community, especially Windsor chair makers.
These musings led to what are now a few standout aspects of Fjoon: a vacuum-laminated upholstered seat with a sweeping compound curve stepped mortise-and-tenon joinery with a friction wedge and a patented wood plug system that allows for re-upholstery down the line without having to destroy / re-fabricate any chair parts. Select from ten upholstery leathers and textiles of the highest quality from Sorensøn and Kvadrat.

Fernweh Woodworking
Justin founded Fernweh Woodworking in 2015 in Bend, OR, finding his deep passion for design through woodworking. He developed the Sling Chair and Tripod Table in 2017, and these designs sparked his desire to develop a full line of small-batch hand-crafted furniture. The Oxbend Collection arrived in 2020, and the Fjoon Collection in 2023. A few of Justin’s design inspirations are Sam Maloof (particularly his passion, kindness, and work ethic); Hans Wegner (his practicality and purposeful creativity); and Finn Juhl (his pursuit of perfect curves and natural beauty). Justin studied business at Purdue University. After graduating, he joined the Marine Corps where he deployed on an advisory team working closely with Afghan Police. After moving to Oregon and joining a wildland fire Hotshot crew, he started Fernweh in the off-season from fire.
