Released in 1964, it is so named because it is possible to stack forty chairs in just four feet – an unprecedented achievement that established an entirely new category of versatile seating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRowland’s wife Erwin and writer Laura Schenone reveal the inspiring story of how he brought his ground-breaking design to market. Initially, it was rejected by all the major furniture brands, including Herman Miller and Knoll, but Rowland persevered, and ultimately, the 40\/4 chair became one of the most successful chairs ever produced, winning numerous accolades and selling over 8 million by the early 21st century. Today it is found in the permanent collections of museums worldwide, and gracing public and private spaces of every type – from cathedrals to cultural centres, corporate and municipal buildings, to places of worship, schools, healthcare, hospitality and homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"search-metadata\"\u003e40\/4 Chair Erwin Rowland with Laura Schenone 9781838668129\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53181919756616,"sku":"4817367510","price":96.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0255\/9816\/files\/616v8gd2rsl._sl1500.jpg?v=1779811571","url":"https:\/\/www.hochparterre-buecher.ch\/en\/products\/david-rowland-40-4-chair","provider":"Hochparterre Bücher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
