The design is the result of an extensive period of research into optimised single form moulded structures. “We wanted to create a refined, resolved and ergonomically elegant structure both in terms of aesthetic outcome and technical efficiency.”
A single moulding incorporates a foot rest, sea tpan frame and gas lift actuation mechanism. The gas lift actuation trigger is uniquely integrated into the main structure and provides an ergonomic yet visibly discrete solution.
The stool has been designed with the upholstery in mind so that it can be replaced and repaired with all parts being disassembled ultimately for recycling. There are no visible fixings on the product and the main assembly is push fit making it efficient to assemble and easy to build.
It’s unique, in that it’s Walter Knolls’ first, fully integrated plastic product but still draws on the heritage of high upholstery with an innovative design to the seat pan and seat cover.
