Introducing a fully restored "Corona" chair and ottoman set designed by the influential Poul M Volther for Erik Jørgensen. Crafted in the 1960s this Corona chair has recently undergone a comprehensive restoration process featuring all new genuine Italian leather hide upholstery. Featuring a HEAVY polychromed steel base the four sculptural, egg-shaped cushions in rich black leather float on an x-shaped base that allows the chair to swivel 360 degrees. The stacked form follows the line of the body and gives the chair its unmistakable, instantly recognizable silhouette. The matching ottoman completes the lounge position.
Poul M. Volther was a Danish furniture designer who is remembered above all for his iconic 'Corona' Chair. He trained as a cabinet maker before going on to study design at the Copenhagen Arts & Crafts School. This was a great grounding for a young Volther in both the practical side and the design side which many designers lack. Volther joined FDB Mobler as a designer under Borge Mogensen in 1949 and took over from him as head designer in 1959.
Apart from his work for FDB Volther would go on to teach at Denmark's Design School, where he encouraged hundreds of students to aim for high quality craftsmanship. A believer in Functionalism, he avoided short-lived aesthetic trends, concentrating on the simple crafting of quality materials. He would go on to design for master cabinet maker K Thomsen and also for Frem Røjle, a large successful company which also employed the likes of Hans Olsen.
Arguably one of the most daring and recognizable designs of Danish mid-century modernism and considered by many as one of the most comfortable lounge chairs in the world this iconic set is ideal for designers searching for an authentic corona chair that is ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Male it yours today and add this icon of the 60's to your collection before it's gone forever.

The chair reclines and swivels 360 degrees without any issue and is so well balanced that the chair can spin for up a an hour with one push. The cushions have been re-upholstered in a genuine Italian leather hide and has been hand-stitched in exact accordance with the original layout and scheme. The leather shows only the wear of once living animal (ranch brands, scars etc.). The foam was replaced with new medium density foam for maximum comfort and longevity.
