Homa 104 Chair. Ergonomics in a Sculptural Form.

Lightness, line, proportion. A chair that should have changed the history of design.

 “A good chair is the result of many years of trial and error,” said Edmund Homa. An architect, interior and industrial designer, and professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, he lived from 1927 to 2017. He became famous as one of Poland's most distinctive furniture designers. His visionary approach and courage in drawing on sculptural forms continue to be a source of amazement and admiration to this day.

Allow us to present one of his greatest achievements. Following designs by Hałas and Chierowski, we are bringing back to life the first chair in the 366 Concept collection, designed by Edmund Homa.

Quiet Beauty. Homa 104 Chair.

Professor Homa's portfolio includes much more spectacular designs. However, it was this one that captivated us to such an extent that we decided to put it back into production. 

The Homa 104 chair. Refined and functional at the same time. Elegant and ergonomic. With its exceptional lightness, subtle lines and softly tapered legs, it seems to levitate above the ground. Full of timeless discretion.

A piece of furniture that could easily find its place in the pantheon of iconic chairs at the Danish Design Museum. It could, if it had been created in the right place at the right time.

The Legacy of Edmund Homa

He was too modest to call himself an artist. He preferred to be referred to as a designer. However, those who knew him remember Edmund Homa as a special person. A sensitive creator with a social conscience, for whom the aesthetic form of furniture was as important as who would use it. People were always at the centre of his interest. “I just like people,” he said. 

Edmund Homa

A Designer Who Cared About People

Edmund Homa, professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, architect, visual artist and educator, designed functional and interior designs, including ship interiors, cinemas and hotels. In 1968, he received a scholarship from the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. 

The Scandinavian inspirations that the professor had the opportunity to draw on during his stay in Denmark are also evident in the design of the 104 chair. They make the chair look fresh even after many decades and fit into contemporary interiors.

Meet the Homa 104 Chair

The GFM-104 chair was designed by Edmund Homa in 1966. The virtuosity of this design is evidenced by the fact that today, 60 years later, it still looks great. Fresh and timeless at the same time. Its light form with sculptural finesse harmonises with simplicity, creating a piece of furniture that is impossible to overlook. Professor Homa's ergonomic approach to design made the 104 chair not only discreetly beautiful, but also comfortable.
