Description

HOWE’s 40/4 side chair is a true design classic – and for good reason. Designed by David Rowland in 1964, the chair has sold over 10 million units worldwide and holds a place in countless museums and design collections. The chair's popularity lies in its clean, streamlined shape and exceptional versatility – there’s hardly a setting where the 40/4 side chair wouldn’t feel at home!

The chair is light and elegant in appearance, yet sturdy and durable in use. It offers fine ergonomic shaping that ensures comfort even during longer meetings or workdays. While perfectly suited for office environments, the 40/4 side chair works just as well around a dining table or as a stylish extra seat at home. Its sled base provides stability and allows the chairs to be stacked, making it a practical choice, especially in more compact spaces where chairs cannot be left out all the time.
