The iconic 40/4 chair, designed by David Rowland and produced by Howe, is a masterpiece of functional design. This specific model, characterized by its minimalist silhouette and exceptional stackability, is a cornerstone of modern furniture history.
The chairs are crafted with a bentwood seat and backrest, supported by a slender, chrome-plated steel frame. This combination of materials offers not only structural integrity but also a warm, natural look that contrasts with the cool metal. The design allows users to stack up to forty chairs at a height of just four feet, which explains the name 40/4. The original Howe labels are present on the underside, confirming authenticity.
The chairs are in good condition, commensurate with age and use. The wooden surfaces display an authentic patina that enhances the character of the set, while the chrome frames have largely retained their original shine.
This set is ideal for dynamic spaces such as conference rooms, dining rooms, or creative studios. The timeless design integrates effortlessly into both industrial and minimalist interiors, where the chairs offer both a practical solution and an aesthetic statement.
