About the Item

Dutch Mid-Century Model 356 PQ rolling office chair, designed by Willem H. Gispen for Gispen Culemborg. The chair features a rounded bucket seat and back upholstered in black leatherette, slim bakelite armrests, and a metal frame with dark finish. Seat height adjusts via a central screw column mechanism, ranging from 17.5 inches at the lowest to 22 inches at the highest. The five-star base, with silver-tipped cast metal arms and small rolling casters, provides stable, mobile support. Gispen was a pioneering Dutch manufacturer whose work from the 1920s through the postwar decades shaped Dutch functionalist design. The 356 PQ reflects Gispen's consistent approach: utilitarian engineering with clean, considered proportions. The bakelite armrests, a material common in mid-century industrial production, and the adjustable screw mechanism are hallmarks of the era's office furniture design. Christoffel Hoffmann is credited as the designer of this model. The chair shows wear consistent with age and use, including visible surface cracking and scuffing to the leatherette seat and lower base area. Other office chairs in this style (please inquire).
