In the early 1960s, the furniture factory in Świebodzice, south-western Poland, was severely damaged in a fire. To resume production, the factory urgently needed new designs that could be implemented on short notice. It was then that Józef Chierowski, a young apprentice at the factory who was also working at the Academy of Fine Arts in nearby Wrocław, proposed a prototype that he had devised in his own workshop. With its simple, lightweight construction and compact yet comfortable form, the easy chair was an immediate success. It was used in both private homes and public spaces, such as hospitals, community houses and offices. Produced for over two decades, more than half a million of the chairs were sold.
