These Genuin 1st edition Result chairs ( multiplex seating parts ), made by Ahrend de Cirkel, Netherlands, are really legendary nowadays. For most schools and companies it was prohibited to sell or keep furniture which was written off after several years of intensive use, which means most of these chairs have been destroyed already at the time.
Because the Result chairs were produced in a number of different colors and types of wood which could be choose from at the time, it is even harder to find a set like this all in the same color and condition; dark blue/grey frames and teak seating parts.

 
Condition: The particular set offered here has some usermarks and a small veneer restoration on some chairs. But still very solid and ready for instant use. Die-cast logo ‘De Cirkel’ in each frame.

 
From the late 1940ies until early 1980ies, famous industrial designer Friso Kramer worked as an industrial designer at Dutch company Ahrend / De Cirkel, which manufacturered steel furniture for schools and office buildings.
Today, his work is probably one of the most appreciated of its kind, and particulary the pieces developed during the fifties have already become true collector items which are wanted all over the world. A retrospective exhibition of his work was held in the ‘Boijmans van Beuningen Museum’ Rotterdam and in the ‘Stedelijk Museum’ in Amsterdam.
