Info about the product

Despite the fact that the D20 coffee table was originally designed in 1951 by Poul M. Volther for FDB Møbler, its streamlined design could just as easily have been conceived today. This iconic coffee table is simple and functional, elegantly combining straight lines with rounded edges. The table is slightly taller than many other coffee tables produced today and features a practical magazine shelf beneath it. The shelf is crafted from dowels, lending the table an appearance of lightness and airiness. Simultaneously, this elegant detail allows for easy clearing of the table, providing storage for newspapers and magazines.

Poul M. Volther

Furniture architect Poul M. Volther (1923-2001) is among the Corps in Danish Design. With a letter of swearing and an education as a furniture carpenter, in 1950 he took over the management of FDB's furniture office from the furniture architect Børge Mogensen. Poul M. Volther quickly showed his special talent for developing quality furniture in mass production. In line with the spirit of FDB Møbler, he helped draw some of the most iconic furniture of the time that came to decorate the many new and modern homes in the welfare state's flourishing in the decades after World War II. His design language was simple and functionalist and was based on the good craftsmanship. Furniture to be used in a flexible daily life. Furniture that should not be beautiful but good to sit in. One of his best known furniture is the 19956 stool, which with its ease showed a new offer for a modern kitchen chair. Today, J46 is the best -selling chair in Denmark with about 850,000 copies sold. Poul M. Volther was a design director of FDB Furniture until 1955, after which he kept drawing furniture, including the iconic Corona chair, and since then he became a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
