Description
Overview
The Joe Chair is Joseph Ricchio's 1990 compact adaptation of the Ricchio Chair. Knoll retains a generously proportioned upholstered seat and the earlier chair's curved back rails.
Construction
A maple or stained-beech frame uses dowels and mortise-and-tenon joints. The upholstered seat and back use high-density polyurethane foam, with elastic suspension below the seat.
Specifications
- W 24 x D 22 x H 32 in (610 x 559 x 813 mm)
- Seat height 19 in; arm height 26 in
Story
A smaller envelope
The product page describes Joe as a more compact development of the Ricchio Chair rather than a second size of it. The back rails retain the Ricchio contours while the reduced frame is paired with a broad seat.
Named for its designer
Knoll credits Joseph Ricchio alone for this model and dates it to 1990. The product sheet positions the armchair for workstations, reception areas, conference rooms and libraries.
