1980s Mandarin chair red leather by Sottsass Knoll int. USA

Designed by Ettore Sottsass in the 1980s for Knoll International, the Mandarin chair is anything but an ordinary dining chair. With its bold geometry, playful proportions and striking red leather upholstery, it perfectly reflects the creative spirit of the Memphis design movement. Sottsass had a talent for turning everyday furniture into something unexpected, and this chair is a great example. The combination of its sculptural metal frame and rich red leather gives it a strong personality while maintaining a practical and comfortable design. It looks fantastic around a dining table, but is equally at home as a standalone statement piece. A little bit daring, a little bit playful and full of 1980s character. Definitely a chair that refuses to go unnoticed!
