Geoffrey Harcourt (1935) practiced at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1962, he designed his initial collection of little workplace fauteuils for Artifort. His layouts introduced Artifort to the international market for deal layout. Initially, Harcourt developed mainly seats for function locations. His initial layout for Artifort, the 042 series in 1963, was an instant worldwide success. His approach is that the chair must focus on the individual and not the other way around. "Initially the individual, then the chair." Harcourt has actually gained lots of prizes and in 1978 was awarded the title of "Royal Developer for Industry".Rocking ChairWho can withstand a rocking chair? When our parents lulled us to rest or you rocked as higher as you could, it advises us of our youth. Now you simply unwind and shake yourself into musings of distant wonderland resorts and happiness beyond measure. Rocking needs to be the supreme means of loosening up. In fact, a rocker base upon Harcourt's incredibly comfortable and much-loved 500-series shell chairs gives incredible convenience. The layer chairs in this collection, each of which has its very own particular upholstery, are already excellent on a set base. Now that the initial rocker base has been restored to its place of honor, they are absolutely irresistible.500 Series"The chair will focus on the person, and not the various other way around."In 1967, Harcourt created a collection of swivel armchairs with trumpet bases, based on a shellshaped layout.
