Galvanitas - Thur Op Seat Chair | Model n. 16 | Netherlands | 1960s

Galvanitas’s classic Model S16 school chair was produced in the late 1950s and the early 1960s. Made of folded steel and German Pagholtz plywood—sturdy, practical, and inexpensive—it was designed for heavy use in public buildings, including schools, institutions, hospitals, and dining halls. Thanks to its minimalist, industrial look, the S16 has found renewed popularity, and since 2014 is again in production by De Machinekamer, a young Dutch company that specializes in restoring and selling vintage furniture.
