OUR TOP 3 INDUSTRIAL CHAIRS - FRISO, WIM, AND WILLY

Creative work is tough to evaluate and compare. Personal style invariably biases our assessment of design.

There is however, one category of furniture design to which a certain amount of objectivity can be applied – industrial chairs. To make a stacking chair comfortable for people of all shapes and sizes, economic to produce on a massive scale, and uniquely aesthetically pleasing is a design problem of the utmost subtlety. Three of our absolute favorites from the category are Friso Kramer, Wim Rietveld and Willy Van Der Meeren. Check out a classic chair from each of them below.
