Name that chair? – Part. I

Nice ad layout and feel. I didn’t know you could have that much fun with stackable chairs, she’s all over it.

September 17, 2007 at 12:06 pmHey, this is an old post, but I just came across it. Didn’t know much about Rowland’s 40/4 chair (so named because a stack of 40 of them fit into four feet of space) myself until I came upon a couple of them for free(!) at a yardsale the other day. Love the classic modernist lines, and the stackability of the things are truly something at which one might marvel.
Anyway, great site, great art. Keep up the good work!

March 28, 2008 at 12:42 pmHey…this post is about a year old at this point, but I just stumbled across it. I worked for a company who had roomfulls of these chairs. They’re awesomely retro, but incredibley heavy to stack when you have to lift them above shoulder height. :) Okay, so I was a janitor for said company in college…it’s respectible.
