A beautifully considered piece, the Knoll Studio 1966 Outdoor Lounge Chair sits at the junction between functional and highly sculptural modernist furniture. Designed to be highly versatile and hugely manageable, the 1996 collection from Schultz was created with the humid conditions of Florida in mind, with the precision-engineered, powder-coated frame sitting well without rusting.
Easily maintainable, and built with the highest quality materials, the 1966 Lounge Chair brings a real sense of luxury to the outdoor space.
Schultz is best known for his outdoor furniture designs. His graceful Petal Table, introduced in 1960, received the design award from Industrial Design magazine. The steel wire-formed 715 Chaise Lounge, which was introduced the following year to complement the Bertoia collection, was selected in 1963 by the Museum of Modern Art for its permanent collection of contemporary furniture.
