To restore chairs 404 david history of the chaise 40/4. The famous 40/4 chair with contemporary and industrial lines is one of the icons of 20th century design. It is exhibited in museums around the world such as the museum of modern art in new york, the museu de arte moderna in rio de janeiro and the museum of decorative arts in paris. But its undeniable success today was not in its infancy. It was born thanks to the tenacity of its creator. It was during his fight in europe that he came up with the idea of creating functional and above all comfortable chairs. He presented his first drafts to knoll associates, one of the three "modern" chair manufacturers of his time. His project was repeatedly rejected, so he decided to rethink it. This is where the chair is stacked by 40 units. He makes many prototypes of this chair in order to make it perfect. Once satisfied with the result, he represents his project to knoll associates, which accepts and then abandons the project with doubts about its commercialization. Not admitting defeat, he then presents his project to the japanese, but a refusal is still offered to him. However, he still did not give up and it was finally the general fireproofing company of youngstown that started the production. What a story full of twists and turns for such a famous chair today! We will remember this phrase "that had never been done before" "this has never been done before" that closes on this revolutionary chair.
