Furniture designer Poul M. Volther was head of FDB Møbler’s creative studio from 1950 to 1955. He belonged to a generation of architects with their roots in exceptional craftsmanship. As a functionalist who loved simplicity in the handling of materials, he distanced himself from the garish and ashy. His J46 chair, with over a million sold, is as popular today as it was when he designed it in 1956.
