S.21 Stacking Chair White Galfanitas
This is the Model S.21 stackable industrial chair, featuring the so-called "compass legs" characteristic 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 color palette, inspired by the industrial designs of Jean Prouve, Wim Rietveld, and Friso Kramer, transcend time and space, making it suitable for 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," this chair 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. Stacking Functionality: The S.21 Stacking Chair features a unique change in the shape of the legs, allowing it to be stacked and connected to the side. When stacked, the beautiful appearance evokes mid-century design. Since any number of legs can be connected by stacking the right leg over the left, this model is more focused on business and educational situations such as meetings, events, and seminars in offices or halls.
