Completely original and fully functional!
Ahrend was (is) one of the major office furniture manufacturers in the Netherlands and supplemented their offerings by importing innovative seating from Tan-Sad, based in Birmingham England.
Tan-Sad, realising that employers didn't care about their workers health, emphasised in their advertising that their products enabled workers to work longer and produce more, i.e. "DO MORE", that a little back support goes a long way. “Scientific fatigue-reducing chair” was one of their slogans.

Seat is height adjustable, backrest is adjustable in height, depth (forward/back) and tilt (self-adjusting tilt function);
Original Rexine-Leather cloth upholstery, what we now call leatherette, the horsehair stuffing/padding is visible through the worn corners;

Name embossed under the seat: "Tan-Sad Chair, the chair for work";
Ergonomic industrial office/factory/shop task/work seating from the 20s/1920s/twenties; Typist and Machinist chair;
Vintage & retro utilitarian styling;
Parts were/are interchangeable making the chairs easy to repair and thereby extra long-lasting;
