Additionally the rubber provided suspension and comfort. However, the chair was also supplied upholstered on request. The cover was removable and available in three colours; red, yellow and grey.
The chair was designed for the series: “furniture for the simple interior”. Under the name 216 the chair was manufactured with armrests. The chairs 116 and 216 were a big success. In 1959 the chair (with out armrests) was renamed 1245″ — text Stichting Gispen Collectie, translation NLD
