Fans of vintage Scandinavian design will be delighted: Hay has reissued the furniture in the FDB collection, iconic pieces developed by leading Danish designers between the 1940s and 1960s. The J110 armchair was designed by Poul M. Volther in the 1960s. The J110 armchair is part of the collection of classics reissued by Hay, and originally designed for the FDB, a Danish consumers’ cooperative, set up in the 1940s to produce designer furniture for the general public at an affordable price. A highly ingenious mix of retro lines and sleek contemporary design. The J110 armchair is a new take on a true classic: the Windsor seat, very much in vogue in the 18th century. Poul M. Volther retained the main features of the traditional Windsor chair: including the use of wood and the back created from fine spindles. This gives the great classic cleaner, more modern lines of Scandinavian inspiration. The assembly of poles produces a balanced and wonderfully graceful openwork structure. We love the spectacular, dramatic effect created by this superb chair with its XXL back. Its wide seat and high backrest offer optimum comfort. The J110 chair is a particularly decorative piece that will lend a trendy, vintage feel to your table or sitting room. Poul M. Volther, who trained as a cabinet maker and studied design at Copenhagen’s School of Arts and Crafts, was a strong believer in functionalism and was particularly interested in crafting high-quality materials.
