Chair in curved steel and drawn steel wire legs; available in a various colours. Available with removable cushion in wool felt. At Salone del Mobile di Milano 2008 Designed with the encouragement of his mentor, Eero Saarinen, Knorr’s project of the Side Chair was co-winner, with George Leowald from Germany, of the First Prize awarded by the Museum of Modern Art at the Low-cost Design Competition in 1948. The shell of the prototype presented at the competition was made with a thermo-bended plastic sheet. Knoll Associates started manufacturing Knorr’s chair in 1950, after introducing some changes to the original design, due to both technical and formal reasons. In order to reinforce the fastening of the sheet, the dimension of the stiffening rib was reduced and the legs were modified. The shape of the sheet itself was improved. The Chair was manufactured by Treitel Gratz, New York, between 1950 and 1952. |
