Fjoon Settee
The Fjoon (pr. fyoon) collection rose out of a multi-year obsession with high end upholstery as well as an infatuation with wood joinery and principles of chair strength from the broader chair making community, especially windsor chair makers. My musings led me to include what are now a few of my favorite aspects of fjoon.
The fjoon settee features a vacuum-laminated upholstered seat with a sweeping compound curve, stepped mortise-and-tenon joinery with a friction wedge, and a patent-pending wood plug system which allows for re-upholstery down the line without having to destroy / re-fabricate any chair parts.
Choose from ten re-selected offerings of upholstery leathers and textiles 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.
