Taking its name from the eponymous armchair, 366 Concept sustainably produces revived classic designs from the mid-twentieth century.

In a classic example of invention following necessity the original 366 Armchair was designed by Józef Chierowski in 1962, inspired by the need to make simple furniture that could be assembled quickly, due to one of Poland’s largest furniture factories having been burnt down in the early 1960s. Thanks to its minimalist design and lightweight construction, the 366 was an instant hit, and could soon be found in every office, school and home across Poland. The 366 Armchair was manufactured for over 20 years, with more than 500,000 copies sold throughout the Eastern Bloc. Despite such success, this masterpiece didn't get the chance to be noticed outside of the Soviet sphere of influence until much later.

Fast foward to 2014 and the now forgotten 366 hasn't been manufactured for 30 years: after securing exclusive licensing rights to Józef Chierowski's designs, 366 Concept reissue the 366, based on the original drawings from the 1960s. Soon other classic designs are added, such as the Fox (often considered to be the second most popular piece of Polish furniture, after the 366) and the Bunny (a reissue of the 300-177 Armchair).

366 Concept continue to manufacture high quality furniture, in an ethical and sustainable way. For every armchair bought 366 plant a tree and all wood is sourced from sustainable providers in locations close by the assembly plants, to minimise the carbon footprint. Furniture is 100% made in Poland.

Designed by Józef Chierowski in 1962, the 366 is the most popular, and well known piece of Polish mid-century furniture. It was named an icon of European design by the OMA architects exhibition for Design Museum London.
