Pair of Mid-Century German Elegant Cherry Wood and Dusty Pink Fabric Armchairs

This pair of elegant armchairs was manufactured by the German Wilhelm Knoll factory during the 1970s. The rounded frame of the armchairs is made of fine cherry wood with visible, rich grain and satin gloss. Cherry wood is very attractive, hard, and at the same time flexible and resistant to mechanical loads. The loosely placed, thick backrest and seat cushions have been re-upholstered with high-quality soft boucle fabric in a dirty pink colour. The seat cushions are located on spiral springs, making these armchairs very comfortable. The set looks elegant and subtle. The organic shape of the frame, high quality of the materials used, and timeless appearance mean that the set will successfully find its place in many arrangements, including modern ones. Wilhelm Knoll, currently known as Walter Knoll, is a brand whose history dates back to 1865, when Wilhelm, the founder of the Knoll dynasty, opened the doors of his leather shop in Stuttgart, Germany. In 1907, the company was taken over by his sons - Willy and Walter, who began producing seating furniture with due care and respect. At the age of 50, Walter Knoll founded his own company Walter Knoll & Co. GmbH, which moved to Herrenberg in 1937. At the same time, equipped with knowledge of the Bauhaus movement and the skills of his family, Walter's son, Hans, went to the United States, where he was initially supposed to sell his father's products. Eventually, together with his wife Florence Knoll, he founded the company Knoll Associates there, which after years was transformed into Knoll International. The armchairs are in excellent vintage condition. The upholstery has been renovated. The seat is at a height of 45 cm. The colours of the products shown in the photos may differ slightly from the actual ones. This is due to individual monitor settings and lighting conditions – the photos were taken in artificial light, which may affect the perception of colours. However, we strive to ensure that the photos reflect the actual appearance of the product as faithfully as possible. The offer may include photos of the item in the living space, but these are for illustrative purposes only.
