Poul M. Volther
Poul M. Volther (1923-2001) was a furniture designer and is probably best known for having designed the Corona chair.
Volther was trained as a furniture carpenter and trained at the School of Crafts in Copenhagen. Volther was first employed at Tarm Chairs- and Furniture, where he acquired his talent for mass-producing furniture in carpentry quality. He was employed at FDB Møbler in 1949 thanks to his close friend, Hans J. Wegner. He took over the management position at FDB Møbler's head office in 1950 and until 1955. His predecessor was the equally iconic furniture designer, Børge Mogensen. Volther then continued to design furniture. Later he became a lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts/Danish School of Design in Copenhagen, where he made his mark on Denmark's future furniture architects. During his career, Volther designed iconic everyday furniture and decorated many new and modern homes. Volther's style was focused on the simple processing of fine materials.
