Zwaardvis

specialist chairs, pedestals and table-columns

Meaning ‘Swordfish’ in Dutch, Zwaardvis emerged in 1970s with the razor-like intention of producing pilot chairs for water recreation, soon becoming the market leader. Later developments saw the manufacture of specialist chairs, pedestals and table-columns for the maritime leisure and commercial markets.

Zwaardvis focuses on metal-production for modern machines, powder-coating, painting and seat foaming, with their own moulding facilities and assembly of the pedestals; Pörtner Seats produces and assembles the complete seat-upperparts. Zwaardvis are globally unique with their aluminium pilot chairs and table bases being assembled without tools, glue or screws.
