The first monograph on the work of the designer of the iconic 40/4 chair

The American industrial designer and inventor David Rowland is best known for his signature 40/4 chair. 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.

Rowland'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.

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, whose design, through the determination of its designer, became the commercially successful and influential classic that it is. 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.

Nice!
For someone who doesn’t use tanning lotion (like me) this was a no brainer. I washed my hands after applying but applied just like normal lotion over elbows, knees and ankles. No orange spots. Subtle color but that’s the true trick !

This is pretty good. I noticed a golden glow right after I used it. It smells good and didn't transfer onto my clothes. You can apply it whenever you want. It fades easily of course after a shower, however, just reapply it! I used my hands and just rubbed my entire body. Didn't really streak where it's super noticeable, but I did have a few and no big deal really. Just add more. You definitely get a nice glow and the price is great especially compared to the more expensive lotions that I didn't like at all! The bottle is a nice size. I recommend this if you don't want to spend a lot and you'll definitely get a tinted glow!
