Story
A softer version of the 1954 collection
Knoll's page says the classic lounge collection is now available in a soft version with deeper proportions for a more relaxed sit. The cut sheet explains the changes: tufted seat and back covered with polyester fiberfill, no welting, and zippered back cushions.
Fill-in pieces
The page quotes Florence Knoll calling the 1954 collection one of the "fill-in pieces that no one else wants to do".
