Revolt Chair Ahrend Friso Kramer first-edition armrests
€395,00
SoldRevolt Chair by Friso Kramer for Ahrend De Cirkel in grey with rare first-edition ciranol armrests
The Revolt chair was originally designed without armrests and later Friso had to adapt them; these armrests are overly complicated with a mounting bracket, made of the same material as the seat and back. The design was soon refined to mount directly to the post; later made of plastic; and still later the plastic was reinforced as it wasn’t as sturdy as the ciranol.
“Many aspects of the Revolt were regarded as extremely innovative when it was introduced back in 1953 and it has won a permanent place for itself both in the business world and in Dutch living rooms. The Revolt chair is at home in every environment. After being discontinued for a number of years, Ahrend reintroduced the Revolt in 2004 . And once again, Ahrend has proved that a product that still has something to offer just gets better as the years go by. Revolt is available in black, white and in dust grey. Unique design with frame of folded/bent sheet steel.” –text: Ahrend
