Description

The 40/4 Chair: A Groundbreaking Design Story David Rowland's iconic 40/4 chair is one of the most successful designs ever produced, with over 8 million units sold by the early 21st century. But its story begins with rejection - all major furniture brands initially turned down Rowland's innovative design. Undeterred, he persevered and brought his vision to market. This fascinating biography features more than 250 photographs and documents, many previously unseen, and tells the compelling story of David Rowland's design practice and the chair that became a commercial success. The book also explores Rowland's work before and after the development of his masterpiece, revealing the pioneering Mid-Century designer behind the iconic 40/4 Chair. Published to mark the 60th anniversary of this timeless design, the first monograph on American designer David Rowland is a must-have for anyone interested in design, furniture, or the story behind an enduring classic.
