What Walter Knoll highlights

  • chAIR shell

    The shell has concealed openings in the seat and back. Bands shaped like palm leaves give a springy feel, and Walter Knoll says the openings let air through.

  • Many frames

    Frames come in solid wood or tubular steel, or as four- and five-star swivel bases. Each keeps the same design language.

  • Built to take apart

    All covers are removable, and the parts separate for recycling. Walter Knoll's evo version needs no glue for the upholstery.
