About the Item

A unique chair, model “Corona”, designed by Poul Volther and manufactured by Erik Jorgensen in Denmark in 1964. This iconic chair is made of beautiful quality chrome plated metal and newly upholstered in high quality red fabric. It’s elliptical design gives it an outstanding appearance as well as a very comfortable seating experience. This amazing chair would make a perfect addition to any mid-century / modern interior, and would also look great in an office space. Considered Volther’s masterpiece, the Corona Chair was first designed in 1961. The original consisted of a wooden skeleton on which a series of oval cushions provided the seat and the rising back. The idea was that it would allow the body to relax in various positions. The following year, as the result of cooperation between Volther and the recently established Erik Jørgensen furniture factory, a new model with a chrome-plated steel frame was marketed in 1964. But it was still far from successful.Some 20 years later, yet another variant was presented at the furniture fair in Cologne, receiving a good press but not selling too well. Nevertheless, Erik Jørgensen’s firm persisted. In 1997, the chair was presented both at the Cologne fair and at the Scandinavian Furniture Fair at the Bella Center in Copenhagen. This time it was a resounding success. The Corona was used at the 2002 EU Summit in Copenhagen, the year after Volther died. Today, with its elliptical, blow-up cushions, it has reached iconic status, becoming Jørgensen’s most successful item! It remains in very good condition with new upholstery and only minor wear to the frame consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.
