An appraisal of the 40/4, chair. The ultimate nameless, functional, all-purpose comfortable chair
A 20th century icon – David Rowland’s 40/4 stackable chair was celebrated in the year of Rowland's 80th birthday. HOWE, the Danish manufacturer of 40/4 asked Boris Berlin (Komplot Design) to organise an event of this double anniversary. This resulted in a traveling exhibition with 22 invited craftspeople and designers praising the chair with his or hers own comment to the 40/4. The studio designed a catalogue to accompany this anniversary.
Format: 164 x 240 mm, thread-stitched open binding, 64 pages, 26 b/w 19 colour ill., offset.
