Collection Story
Origin
EOOS developed Leadchair with Walter Knoll, and the studio's project page lists it as FD 2012 with the years 2012 / 2016 / 2024. The work began with the chair's movement and its mechanism, kept open and comprehensible.
Design Language
Upholstered swivel chairs with a lockable synchronised mechanism, aluminium frames and armrests with replaceable leather cushions. The press text speaks of modern understatement and of transparency of function.
Key Pieces
- Leadchair Executive, with solid armrests
- Leadchair Management, with open armrests
- Soft editions of both chairs, in leather or a wide range of fabrics
