}}
David Lincoln Rowland (February 12, 1924 – August 13, 2010) was an American industrial designer famous for his 40/4 chair, so named because it stacks 40 chairs in high. The chair was the first compactly stackable chair invented, and is regarded as the gold standard of stackable chairs, not only for its stackability, but for its comfort, durability, timelessness, and grace. Referring to the 40/4, modern critics have noted that “It is unsurpassed to this day in engineering sophistication and production”. In continuous production since its introduction, the chair has sold in the millions around the world over 5 decades and is found in many prestigious locations, including St. Paul’s Cathedral in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.howe.com/de/tempest/reference?tid_1=264&tid=All&tid_2=All )〕
==Early life==
David Lincoln Rowland was born on February 12, 1924, in Los Angeles, the only child of Neva Chilberg Rowland, a violinist and W. Earl Rowland, a California artist, lecturer and teacher. In 1936 he moved with his parents to Stockton, California where his father became director of the Haggin Museum. In the summer of 1940, when he was only 16, he took a course with Laszlo Maholy-Nagy, one of the founders of The Bauhaus school, at Mills College in Oakland, California on Basic Bauhaus Design, an experience which set the direction of his career. He forever after called it “the best summer of my life!”. After graduation from Stockton High School in 1942, he studied drafting, and worked as a draftsman for the Rheem Manufacturing Co., drawing plans for war munitions, before entering military service in World War II.
