Held in high esteem for its elegant sculptural design, respected for its durability, and applauded for its unsurpassed stacking and handling capabilities, the 40/4 chair has become a classic in its own time.

Designed by David Rowland in the early 60's, the chair met the first of the designer's criteria to provide design to the masses. In the 70's, the chair conformed to the most stringent ergonomic demands. The 80's required space-saving attributes from a product and 40/4 excelled. The 90's asked for environmental awareness, and 40/4's noble materials and uncluttered design agreed. The 00's look to innovative, recyclable materials and again the 40/4 performs.

We know that the prize winning Rowland 40/4 chair will continue to serve the world's changing requirements for decades to come.
