Story
The contract chair
Knoll dates Joseph D'Urso's contract lounge chair to 2008. It shares the precise outer panels of his upholstered seating while changing the stance through taller steel legs. The resulting proportions are suited to a single compact seat.
Material-dependent seams
Knoll changes topstitching and seam placement for directional textiles, railroaded cloth and leather, so the upholstery specification affects the chair's finished detail.
