The Galvanitas S19 chair originated in the classroom.
The S19 has an all-wooden shell based on a metal frame. The chair was designed and produced by Galvanitas in Oosterhout in the late 1950s and early 1960s. A design with the typical compass legs was chosen. Instead of the usual tubular construction, the designer opted for a frame made of pressed sheet steel. The S19 is the rarest of the series. A very solid and at the same time revolutionary design for that time. The S19 was specifically intended for intensive use in public buildings such as schools, institutions and canteens. Galvanitas is (still) known for its quality and reliability. Because the two-coloured bowl consists of one piece, it can move a little, it springs a bit, which increases seating comfort.
