"Do More" Chair or Stool from Tan-Sad via Ahrend, C.
Completely original and fully functional!
Ahrend was (is) one of the major office furniture manufacturers in the Netherlands and supplemented their offerings by importing innovative seating from Tan-Sad, based in Birmingham England.
Tan-Sad, realising that employers didn't care about their workers health, emphasised in their advertising that their products enabled workers to work longer and produce more, i.e. "DO MORE", that a little back support goes a long way. “Scientific fatigue-reducing chair” was one of their slogans.
Black enamelled steel tube swivel base on wheels;
Seat is height adjustable, backrest is adjustable in height, depth (forward/back) and tilt (self-adjusting tilt function);
Original Rexine-Leather cloth upholstery, what we now call leatherette, the horsehair stuffing/padding is visible through the worn corners;
Ergonomic industrial office/factory/shop task/work seating from the 20s/1920s/twenties; Typist and Machinist chair;
Vintage & retro utilitarian styling;
Parts were/are interchangeable making the chairs easy to repair and thereby extra long-lasting;
labeled on the side: F. H. HCADLEY Patents & Regd... (I'm guessing);
Dimensions are as photographed, the chair is highly adjustable;
