This model Revolt chair, designed by Friso Kramer in 1953, was manufactured by Ahrend de Cirkel, the Netherlands. This model was also produced in 1953 and is a first edition with a profile in sheet lacquered metal, and a wooden seat and back. The model has been exhibited in the Triennale di Milano in 1954, and was the winner of the prestigious "Compasso d'Oro" prize in 1954.
Kramer was born in Amsterdam in 1922. As an industrial and furniture designer, and as a member of influential groups and movements, Kramer's ideas and creations have consistently worked to propel the modernist aesthetic of the Netherlands. In the period from 1948 to 1963 he was employed by De Cirkel, where he designed some of his most iconic pieces such as this Revolt Chair. A retrospective exhibition of his work was held in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1977. In 1979 Kramer received the title 'Royal Designer for Industry' by the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) in London.
