1966 Outdoor Armchair
Price € 1.781,00
The 1966 armchair is an example of elegant and sophisticated outdoor furniture, perfect to complete the Knoll catalog with its own shape made of incisive lines without imperfections. Designed in the 1960s by Richard Schultz designer on commission from Florence Knoll, it was designed to combine high resistivity with formal pleasantness. The idea was precisely to resist the corrosiveness of external atmospheric agents and in particular the salty air of Florida. The result was an object with a contemporary design that does not disdain any outdoor space, from the terrace to the garden and more. The aluminum structure with paint finishes, embellished with a woven polyester fiber mesh ensures maximum durability over time.

Landed in the United States at the beginning of the ‘30s, Hans Knoll, a young German-born son of a furniture-maker in Stuttgart, proposed to import into the new continent the modern European design, contemporary heritage of the Bauhaus. Died prematurely, his work was continued by his wife, Florence Knoll, who succeeded in establishing lasting partnerships with some of the greatest exponents of the modernist movement. Few years later the Knoll Associates was founded. Today, Knoll is not only a company of re-selling historic furnishings of great artistic value, but continues to innovate by offering creations of the major international design brands both in the home area and in the office furnitures sector.Read more
