Though the revolt chair was already designed in 1953, the production started in 1958. These chairs are rare because they were only used in several schools in holland, these come from the th eindhoven production year 1963. The chairs are stickered with the ahrend de cirkel logo and with the th eindhoven metal tag on the side of the frame, also impressed at the back (ahrend de cirkel). The chairs are good condition and have some professional veneer repairs, the black lacquered metal frames are in excellent and clean condition. This is for a very nice set of 8 chairs. Some still have the th eindhoven tag on the side of the frames. The designs of friso kramer are highly sought after because of their progressive designs. Even though this chair was designed in 1953, this is still in production at ahrend. With few modern changes to the materials but the shape is still identical. Friso kramer was a functionalist, all of his pieces are well thought about and amazingly executed. Even though most of his designs were produced in large numbers the process before that was really intense and time taking. And the result of that was a great production process with fantastic ergonomic result. Provenance: t.h. Eindhoven 1963-2014. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
