Knoll
1966 Outdoor Sun Lounger
Classic
Price € 2.672,00
The 1966 chaise longue was born within the same outdoor collection designed by Richard Schultz on commission from Florence Knoll. Designed in 1966, it conveys a sober and elegant style that does not disdain some peculiarities of great ingenuity. Here we mention the painted aluminium structure and the woven polyester fiber mesh, both elements capable of withstanding time and bad weather. Schultz conceives this object precisely to withstand the salty winds of the ocean. A peculiarity of 1966 is the presence of wheels at the rear, just above the reclining seat, perfect for facilitating movement in open spaces.

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
