Homa 104 Chair by 366 Concept. Ergonomics in a Sculptural Form

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.

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, 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.

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.
