Liz Chair Side

Overview

Liz Chair is a side chair designed by Claudio Bellini for Walter Knoll. Swaying lines define its silhouette, emphasised by coloured piping. An elastic textile under the cover spans the seat and the back, and the cover is removable. The armless model 1300 is described here.

Construction

The frame is steel with a flexible back. The seat and back are covered in tensioned, elasticated and dimensionally stable high-tech fabric over a 3 mm foam layer on a 16 mm tube. The legs are powder-coated bronze matt or black matt, or polished chrome-plated for a surcharge. Synthetic glides are fitted for stone and carpet floors and felt glides for wooden floors.

A chair reduced to what is most beautiful

Walter Knoll's press text describes Liz Chair as a chair by Claudio Bellini reduced to what is most beautiful. The swaying lines of the silhouette are emphasised by coloured piping, and an elastic textile under the cover spans the surfaces of seat and back.

Material from aviation

The textile was developed for aviation, and the press text compares the step with the Antimott armchair Walter Knoll made in the 1930s with special springs. The Liz chair for Walter Knoll dates to 2012, and chairs with particularly soft upholstery and fine draw-ins extend the range.
