Poul M. Volther first trained as a cabinetmaker before attending the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen.
Volther was one of his era’s greatest exponents of Scandinavian functionalism. With a starting point in functionalism’s motto ‘form follows function’, Volther designed stylistic, functional furniture where the aesthetic was often paramount.
With his unerring sense of detail, love for materials and great craftsmanship, Volther has left his mark on Danish and international design history.
