S.16 Arm Chair Black Galfanitas Brown/Black
This is the Model S.16 industrial chair, featuring the so-called "compass legs" that are representative of Dutch mid-century design. The Model S16 industrial chair was produced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, combining affordability with practicality and durability to withstand heavy use in public facilities such as schools, offices, hospitals, and dining halls. Its share has since expanded to many facilities across Japan, making it one of the company's signature products. Although production was once discontinued, the S16, which has a global following as a vintage piece, resumed production in 2014. Its simple, industrial appearance and wide range of colors, inspired by the industrial designs of Jean Prouve, Wim Rietveld, and Friso Kramer, transcend time and environment, making it suitable for use in a variety of spaces, from residential to commercial. The "Compass Chair" is considered a representative example of Dutch mid-century design. Featuring distinctive inverted V-shaped legs, commonly known as "compass legs," it was produced by multiple manufacturers from the 1950s to the 1960s. Galfanitas also produced it, but unlike other Compass chairs, it was primarily used in public facilities, schools, and government agencies, rather than in private homes. Special Material: PAG Wood. The plywood used for the seat and backrest is a special composite material called "PAG Wood" developed by the German company PAGHOLZ. PAG Wood is a reinforced material made by compressing beech plywood and special resin, offering impact resistance, durability, and water resistance. The seat features subtle textures to prevent slippage, a testament to the attention to detail that went into the S.16. Enhanced Functionality: Like the existing S16 model, the Industrial Chair S.16 armchair adds arms to enhance its functionality and versatility without compromising its classic and unique design. Its simple form and monotone color selection make it easy to match with any space, making it suitable for a variety of settings, including homes, offices, and commercial facilities. When used with the matching table TD.4, the arm part can be stored without touching the tabletop. Source: https://www.truss.jp/
