366 Concept

Tradition and beauty of Polish design

366 Concept is the emblematic brand of the revival of Polish design. It began its adventure by taking over, under exclusive licence, the iconic 366 armchair, created in 1962 by Mr Jozef Chierowski.

This 366 chair has gradually been complemented by a range of furniture and accessories that emphasise the sophistication of their design and the quality of their materials.

The Cool Republic offers a wide selection of this iconic armchair, which combines elegance with stylish design. Both retro and modern, 366 Concept Design & Lifestyle has succeeded in blending the two superbly. In 1960, Mr Jozef Chierowski designed the most popular piece of Polish furniture: the 366 armchair. He was an interior designer, pianist and lecturer at the Wroclaw University of Art. After a hiatus of more than 30 years, the iconic armchair is being reissued!

With its minimalist design and lightweight wooden construction, the success of the 366Concept brand lies in creating truly original furniture whilst respecting our heritage. In 2017, the brand committed to being more environmentally responsible, with a programme to plant a tree for every armchair sold, a reduction in recycled cardboard packaging, a plastic-free policy, and, finally, natural finishes using pigments, varnishes and water-based adhesives that are safe for the environment.

When it comes to materials, let’s talk about fabrics! The brand offers a wide range of choices to suit your interior design preferences: a tweed collection, one in velvet or corduroy, in denim or wool, or even in linen – these fabrics come in a variety of colours and patterns. The brand’s tradition of artisan-inspired woodworking produces high-quality furniture that stands the test of time. The wood, which has been dried and aged for seven years, is resistant to warping. The brand mainly uses ash and oak.

When it comes to finishes, metal is the preferred choice: from gold to black, in steel or custom finishes, with a gloss or matt finish – the metals are galvanised and available in a range of styles to suit your taste. Finally, marble – elegant and refined – adds character and harmony to your interior décor. When it comes to design style, creativity and soul are at the heart of their inspiration: the lightweight wooden dining chairs, also available as stools, are made from solid ash with brass finishes. The armchairs can be rocking chairs, or come as two-seater or three-seater sofas, creating a striking focal point in Scandinavian or retro-style interiors.
