Result Chair — Black Steel 4-Leg

The Result Chair features a thin steel-sheet base with an oak seat and backrest, retaining maximum flexibility, lightness, and strength. Originally created by Friso Kramer and Wim Rietveld while working at Ahrend in the 1950s, the cutout steel collection has been relaunched by HAY together with Ahrend. It is available in a variety of wood finishes and base colours, as well as in a version with an upholstered seat, offered in a wide range of textiles and leather options. All variants can be paired with the Pyramid Table, creating a versatile seating setup suitable for numerous public and private contexts.

About the Designer

Wim Rietveld (1924-1985) and Friso Kramer (b. 1922) were both Dutch-born.  Wim Rietveld was an industrial furniture designer who studied Industrial Design at The Hague Academy, before starting work in 1958 at De Cirkel, a manufacturer of steel furniture that had merged with the Ahrend group in 1939. Friso Kramer studied Interior Design at the Institute of Applied Arts in Amsterdam, before he also worked at De Cirkel as a designer from 1948-1963. It was during their time at De Cirkel that the two designers met, together developing a number of iconic design collaborations, including the Result Chair in 1958. Together with Ahrend, HAY has reproduced the Rietveld and Kramer’s original design of the Result Chair.
