Book Introduction

David Rowland: 40/4 Chair

The first monograph on the designer David Rowland and his iconic 40/4 chair.

American industrial designer and inventor David Rowland is best known for his signature 40/4 chair. Released in 1964, it is named for its ability to stack forty chairs in just four feet—a groundbreaking achievement that established an entirely new category of versatile seating.

Rowland’s wife, Erwin, and writer Laura Schenone reveal the inspiring story of how he brought his groundbreaking design to market. Initially, all major furniture brands, including Herman Miller and Knoll, rejected his design, 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 units by the early 21st century. Today, it is found in the permanent collections of museums worldwide and graces public and private spaces of all kinds—from cathedrals to cultural centers, corporate and municipal buildings, to places of worship, schools, healthcare, hospitality, and homes.

This fascinating biography of David Rowland and his 40/4 chair, featuring more than 250 photographs and documents (many never seen before), tells the compelling story of his design practice and a singular chair that, through the determination of its designer, became the commercially successful and influential classic it is today. The first monograph on American designer, David Rowland: 40/4 Chair, is published to mark the 60th anniversary of this timeless design and includes the wide range of Rowland’s work before and after the development of his masterpiece.

David Rowland was a pioneering Mid-Century designer. Born in 1924 in Hollywood, California, he studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. His elegant, perfectly engineered 40/4 chair is one of the most significant and masterful designs of the 20th century.
