“Jubilee” Danish Armchair by Poul Volther

Danish oak armchair designed by Poul Volther, model “Jubilee”, a refined example of Scandinavian functionalism from the 1960s. The “Jubilee” armchair, designed by Poul Volther, is a refined expression of late Danish modernism, combining ergonomic research with structural clarity. Crafted in solid oak, the frame features clean lines and clearly articulated joints, while the seat is supported by integrated elastic webbing. Volther, a key figure in Danish functionalism and former head of the Royal Danish Academy’s design department, consistently pursued honest construction and everyday comfort.
