The 40/4 chair is recognised as one of the most important and groundbreaking designs of the 20th century for its compact stackability, excellent ergonomics and comfort, versatility, and timeless grace.

In cooperation with HOWE, beginning in 2004, Rowland designed new versions of the 40/4 to complement the original side chair and armchair. Today there is an extended 40/4 family, including a chair with an attached writing tablet, lounge chair, barstool, outdoor chair, all wood chair, and swivel chair.

The 40/4’s elegant, minimalist design allows it to effortlessly exist within diverse architectural venues. It is used in historic, modern, public and residential buildings, being equally at home in St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, corporate offices, classrooms, restaurants, and private residences.

It received the following prestigious awards:
Grand Prix at the 13th Triennale in Milan, Italy, 1964
