When you author a book known as The Taxonomy of Office Chairs, it’s protected to say you’ve amassed an impressive knowledge base relating to chairs. And with that knowledge tucked away, Jonathan Olivares went about methodically producing the excellent outside chair, “not too heavy, undoubtedly not as well light, much more comfy than something else, and some thing sensible sufficient need to it make its way inside.”The outcome: the brand new Olivares Aluminum Chair by Knoll, a portrait in innovation, conservation, functionality—and, not incidentally, vivid beauty. A single piece of die-cast aluminum—a mere 3mm thick at its thinnest point—defines the softly curved body of the Olivares, the result of an exhaustive procedure in material experimentation in quest of a chair that met Olivares’ desired parameters with as small raw material as attainable. Light (less than 15 pounds), sturdy, comfy, stackable—and available in a color range inspired by David Hockney paintings, the Olivares Aluminum Chair is, indeed “worth its weight on the planet.”
Now, via April 8th, the Olivares, along with our complete Knoll outdoor collection is on sale at a 15% discount—and free of charge shipping.
