MID-CENTURY DESIGN ICONS FROM POLAND TO THE WORLD SINCE 1960 366 Armchair is back into production since 2014 under exclusive World license.
Year 1962 – This is when it all begins. Our name comes from our flagship product – the 366 Armchair. It was the most popular piece of Polish Mid-Century furniture. This was partly a matter of luck: in the early 1960s, one of the biggest furniture factories in Poland was destroyed by fire, creating a sudden need for simple furniture that could be assembled quickly. Young interior and piano designer, lecturer at University of Art in Wrocław, Józef Chierowski jumped at the opportunity. That was when the chair’s potential first manifested itself. Thanks to its minimalist design and lightweight wooden construction, it was an instant success, soon to be found in almost every office, café and restaurant in 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 never had the chance to be noticed outside of the Soviet sphere of influence.
Must Have Icon
In 2014, following a hiatus of over 30 years, 366 Concept - Retro Furniture decided its time has come. After securing exclusive licensing rights, we reissued this forgotten Icon of Polish Mid-Century Design, based on the original drawings from the 60s. Now Icon of Polish Design featured in The Design Museum in London. • 366 METAL ARMCHAIR / SHINE VELVET COLL. - MUSTARD / ASH - 03 DARK / METAL - BLACK GLOSS

ROCKING WITH 366 METAL SERIES
It rocks!
366 Concept adds a rocking frame on the 366 Metal Armchair The popular series of 366 Metal Armchairs is now being launched with a rocking frame. Just like the other Armchairs in the series, the new Rocking Chair combines a strong visual expression with comfortable curves and an innovative industrial manufacturing technique. The frame also offers extra potential for movement, and the comfortable, rocking rhythm has been shown to be both calming and relaxing. In addition to the comfort benefits of the rocking chair, it is especially well-suited for creating inviting corners and expressive environments in all types of settings. It is a natural extension of the existing wooden frame and emphasizes the rich potential of the design. Agata Górka the Co-Founder and Art Director of 366 Concept - Retro Furniture has this to say about the newest family member of the series: “The rocking frame was actually a huge success in terms of 366 Armchair Series. We have decided to expand a Rocking family. I think that there is something unexpected about the combination of metal, fabric and the more traditional wooden rocking chair frame. The frame is extremely strong and has been assembled by hand by furniture craftsmen who have ensured that the quality is the best possible. The parts for the wooden bases are treated with two coats of clear varnish before they are mounted onto the shell. This makes the frame extra hard-wearing and offers a beautiful, natural surface.” All the furniture pieces in the 366 Metal series are available in 5 carefully selected, timeless metal frame colours: Black Gloss, Black Matt, Grey Gloss, Grey Matt, Bras. • 366 METAL ROCKING CHAIR / VELVET COLL. - RED BRICK / ASH - 03 DARK / METAL - BLACK MATT
