Revolt Chair by Friso Kramer for Ahrend De Cirkel in Red Upholstery with plastic armrests
a timeless classic, sleek design
completely ORIGINAL!
black powder-coated folded sheet steel frame with one central tube to which everything is attached; with mild patina
I thought I had three of these chairs but one has a very different upholstery fabric;
A. Red Cavalry Twill fabric (darker)
B. Red Hopsack woven cotton/wool blend (brighter); sticker on leg
C. Red Hopsack woven cotton/wool blend (brighter); subtle but large stain on seat
“Many aspects of the Revolt were regarded as extremely innovative when it was introduced back in 1953 and it has won a permanent place for itself both in the business world and in Dutch living rooms. The Revolt chair is at home in every environment. After being discontinued for a number of years, Ahrend reintroduced the Revolt in 2004 . And once again, Ahrend has proved that a product that still has something to offer just gets better as the years go by. Revolt is available in black, white and in dust grey. Unique design with frame of folded/bent sheet steel.” –text: Ahrend
