The story behind the Poul Volther Corona Chair
Poul M. Volther created the Corona Chair in 1964. Some say it was inspired by time-lapse photography of a lunar eclipse and its surrounding corona. Others believe the inspiration was the strength and flexibility of a human spine. We think it was a bit of both. The chair's name and sculptural weightlessness are strong indicators of the lunar influences. However, if you look at the chair straight on, it does resemble a human spine with each component working to support the back when seated.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Poul Volther
1923-2001 (Denmark)
Poul Volther was a Danish furniture designer who favoured functionalism over short-lived trends. He strongly believed in quality craftsmanship and simple manufacture of fine materials. He produced a wide variety of armchairs and sofas, but the Corona Chair is by far his most famous design.
