Collection Story
Origin
PearsonLloyd, the London design team, created Turtle for Walter Knoll as an expressive interpretation of the bucket seat. The outer bucket has clean sweeping lines, and a second, upholstered bucket sits inside.
Design Language
A hard shine on the outer shell, in white or black or fully upholstered, contrasts with soft upholstery. The sheet lists die-cast aluminium bases with glides, and a five-star base with castors for the chair.
Key Pieces
- Turtle Chair, the dinner chair, on a four-star or castor base
- Turtle Lounge Armchair, the low chair with a generous bucket
- Turtle Barstool, in two heights
