HAY J110 dining chair is part of a relaunch of the Danish furniture classics originally made for FDB (The Danish Consumers’ Co-operative Society). Functionalist and democratic design for the people - that was the main idea behind the furniture production started by FDB in the 1940s.
Poul M. Volther was born in 1923 and died in 2001. He was a Danish designer, who was a member of the FDB cooperative, whose aim was to create affordable furniture for everyday use. Volther was a trained cabinetmaker and studied later at the Arts and Crafts School in Copenhagen.
