The General Fireproofing Company of Youngstown, Ohio, began manufacturing aluminum institutional chairs in 1929, and introduced its GoodForm line in 1932. The company touted, ‘No material is more characteristically fitted to a specific purpose than is Aluminum to chair construction. Aluminum, being naturally light, offered increased portability, as well as strength, resistance to fire, welded joints, and a suggestion of modernity ‘in feeling and expression’. The all-aluminum No. 4295 features three vertical slats that support the sitter’s back and two braces beneath the seat that create a small rack for storage. While time-consuming to produce, the welded construction produced smooth joints that harmonize with its simple, gently curved contours. Brand plate is on each chair for authenticity. They show visible wear that is consistent with their age + use.
