About the design:
The BYK chair is one of Edmund Homa's most distinctive designs. Developed in 1966 as a single prototype, the chair never went into series production.
The special, organic backrest made of solid wood was classified as too complex and cost-intensive for centrally controlled mass production.
The chair was presented by POLITURA in 2020 and shortly afterwards it received the most important Polish design award MUST HAVE.
About the designer:
Edmund Homa was born in northern Poland in 1927. After completing a degree in interior design at the Danzig Art Academy, he established himself as a freelance designer in the field of graphic, interior and furniture design.
From 1962 he worked for the Danzig Art Academy and the state furniture industry, for which he mainly designed seating furniture. Some of his designs are still in Polish homes and public institutions.
Edmund Homa also received a scholarship from the Royal Danish Academy of Art, where he worked under Ole Wanscher's direction.
