Product description

The S16 with Galvanitas armrests is the school chair of the 60s. He was practically in all schools in the Netherlands. And that was strikingly good. Because of its minimalist design and industrial appearance, the chair is extremely popular nowadays. The S16 with arm from Galvanitas is without a doubt a classic and fits in perfectly with the current interior trends.

The chair was designed and produced by Galvanitas in Oosterhout in the late 1950s and early 1960s. They opted for a design with the typical compass legs. Instead of the usual tubular construction, the designer opted for a frame made of pressed sheet steel. A very solid and at the same time revolutionary design for that time. Wim Rietveld, one of the pioneers in the field of industrial design in the Netherlands, described the pieces of furniture as functional: "well-formed, sturdy, usable and inexpensive".

The S16 with arm was specially intended for intensive use in public buildings, such as schools, institutions and canteens. Galvanitas is (still) known for its quality and reliability. The seat and backrest, produced in West Germany, are the model of German gründlichkeit. So top quality.

The chair became a popular style icon of the emerging industrial Dutch style. It is still a much sought after design classic, both in the Netherlands and abroad. After all, with this chair you bring the perfect "urban industrial" look into your home. It is extremely suitable for use in a bar or restaurant, but is certainly not out of place in a private interior. Dutch industrial design at its best.

The Machinekamer offers you, in collaboration with Galvanitas, the unique opportunity to order brand-new S16 with arm chairs. Furniture from the original factory and made with the original product molds. All newly manufactured parts are completely identical to and interchangeable with the original. Just really like then. The only concession - the frame is now welded instead of soldered - benefits the environment. The frame and seat are available in different colors. This way you give your own twist to this famous classic.

The Galvanitas S16 with arm is available in 8 standard powder-coated colors. For the seat and the backrest you can choose from black, white or four different colors of transparent shades.
