In the GOLIAT chair you get the sculptural weight that characterizes the Danish designer Poul M. Volther. He designed the chair for the Copenhagen Furniture Carpentry Exhibition in 1953, where the chair won a prize. The chair was then produced by master joiner Erhard Rasmussen, and it was never put into series production. It is therefore at MAKE nordic that the GOLIAT chair sees the light of day for the first time in 2017. The chair is today handmade by skilled cabinetmakers at one of Denmark's leading furniture factories.
When Poul M. Volther had won the prize at the Carpenters' Autumn Exhibition, the chair was sent to Sweden, where it was forgotten for many years. By chance, the architect's son rediscovered the chair, many years after Poul M. Volther's death. Jakob Volther received a newsletter from an auction house in Sweden where his father's beautiful chair was for sale. One of the few examples that had been produced in the 1950s. Jakob Volther immediately saw the potential in the iconic armchair, which today is an important part of the furniture collection at MAKE nordic. After just a few years, the GOLIAT armchair has found a place in many homes - and in many hearts.
As the name illustrates, Volther has seen GOLIAT as a mighty and brave fighter that fully lives up to the other old Danish classics from the 1950s.
Poul M. Volther's GOLIAT chair has a beautiful, minimalist look and you get a surprisingly high sitting comfort. The chair can stand alone with its stylish lines, but it can also be very easily combined with other furniture to create a varied and personal expression in your home. There is no doubt that the GOLIAT chair will make a positive contribution to any room with its unique and beautiful design language. The architect-designed chair is handmade in natural or black-painted oak from FSC®-certified forests (FSC® N002763). You therefore get a quality that can last a lifetime - and perhaps be passed down for generations.
Choose between natural or black painted oak from FSC® certified forests (FSC® N002763). The look of the GOLIAT chair can also be varied with a choice of leather and textiles in several colours, so that it suits your particular home. Included are three cushions made of Oekotex®-certified cold foam with beautiful, removable wool or leather covers, as well as leather cords for attachment.
The GOLIAT chair also comes with a footstool, designed with the same line as the armchair, to complete your sitting experience!
