The story of the 40/4 Chair:

The peaceful pursuit of comfort

“I was a pilot in the United States Air Force during the Second World War. At that time, there were beastly uncomfortable seats in the cockpits of the planes we flew. And during the many campaigns I was on, some lasting up to twelve hours, I promised myself that if I survived I would dedicate my life to the creation of comfortable and ergonomically correct seating. Once the war was over, I started my own peaceful mission. After years of research, sketches and prototypes, I finally had the light, strong and super-ergonomic chair, which is now known around the world as the stacking chair 40/4.”
