Originally manufactured from 1964-79 and reintroduced in 2014, the steel and leather 'sling chair' or '657', as it is commonly referred to, offers a refined combination of materials and finishes. Tubular steel legs connect to cast-aluminum arms and stretchers with exposed hardware, exemplifying Pollocks honest approach to design.

The sling is crafted with Spinneybeck Belting Leather, a 100% vegetable tanned, full grain, aniline dyed leather. The leather is processed in the Santa Croce region of Italy, renowned for its heritage in producing some of the finest quality vegetable tanned leathers.

The seat cushion is crafted with either Portofino or Hand Tipped leather. Portofino leather is a full grain, aniline dyed leather that has a breathable, light protective finish. Its unique tannage and prolonged milling process provide a heavy weight, enlarged grain texture with suppleness unmatched by any other type of leather in its class. Hand Tipped leather is a two toned, full grain leather with a pronounced pebble grain. The two toned effect is achieved through the base dye coloration and surface treatment. The tip of the pebble grain is dyed with a dark overtone which is administered by hand. The surface of the leather is further enhanced with a light clear coat application followed with a specialized ironing process.

Arms and stretchers are cast aluminum with black painted finish. Legs are tubular steel with polished chrome finish. Seat is pad is urethane cushion with Spinneybeck Portofino or Hand Tipped leather.

Valencia Oval Comfort Series Take Ten Rattan Lounge Chair - Riverstone Furniture Collection

Martin Bergmann from EOOS explains: "We sought to create a design that is at once precise and relaxed ... to design a chair whose wooden structure is continuous, with legs that are not mere appendages to the upholstered upper part of the chair. We devised a soft cushion in a shape that could be folded into three dimensions and thus function as a seat, back and armrests in one."

With its outstretched arms like a friend ready to greet you with a warm, welcoming hug, the Catch Lounge Chair builds on Hayon's penchant for humor and personification. At the same time, it introduces a higher back and elongated seat in a singular shell supported by a metal armature. The result is a leisure chair that's angled back just a bit, so you can sit down, relax and, as the name implies, lounge. As Hayon sees it, "A lounge chair should be inviting to look at. In a way, it should be almost irresistible. Meaning you can’t help but sit back, get comfortable and have a chat. That's what I wanted to achieve. With the added element of the two arms, like a friend, happy to welcome you."

A unique asymmetrical armchair, designed by the highly acclaimed Danish architect, Hans Olsen in the 1950s. The Fried Egg armchair, in all its personality and capriciousness, is at last available for any design lovers who wish to add a bit of edginess to their homes in the shape of a unique item of designer furniture with roots in Danish Modernism. This roomy, comfortable chair was christened ‘Fried Egg’, because that is what it looks like when viewed from above. The flat armrests invite you to swing your legs nonchalantly up on them, when you really feel like relaxing. As a tribute to the 1950s’ adoration of colour and love of teak, one of the Fried Egg options is this elegant type of wood and upholstery in a range of stunning colours. You also have the option of playing with two-tone combinations, which are strongly reminiscent of a fried egg.

The Niloo Lounge Chair was introduced at the Milan Furniture Fair in 2016.   In 2015, Artifort celebrated its 125-year anniversary with the return of the Penguin. Now we have the Niloo, Penguin's modern successor, designed by Khodi Feiz.
In the 1950s, Artifort blazed the trail of innovative design with the Congo and Pinguïn chair, designed by Theo Ruth. Niloo is following in its predecessor's footsteps by applying the same technique that involves two elements seamlessly fitting together. Through this design, we pay tribute to Artifort's history while setting our sights on the future.
Designer Feiz explains: ‘For me Niloo is all about the synergy of practicality and comfort. Imagine having to haul a fauteuil up three flights of stairs or the space-saving attributes during transport. And when slid together a simple chair emerges, almost iconic in image.’ Construction
This chair consists of two separate base elements that were fitted together with forked ends and held together by gravity.

Patricia Urquiola has conveyed this concept to the armchair Husk by designing a stiff body made of Hirek that contains a soft cushion divided into portions, which seem to underscore its ergonomic profile.

Spanish by birth, and Italian by choice, Patricia Urquiola was born in Oviedo, Spain and studied architecture in Madrid before graduating from the Milan Politecnico in 1989. The key words for her work are: rigour and emotion, innovation and mental comfort. She was mentored by some of the masters of Italian industrial design: Achille Castiglioni oversaw her graduate thesis, and Vico Magistretti, with whom she designed her first projects. She learned her craft in Italy, and opened a studio in Milan in 2001, where she has developed a truly global enterprise. Some highlights from her career include her encounter with Maddalena de Padova (1990), her collaboration with Piero Lissoni (1996-2000), and her partnership with Patrizia Moroso (since 1998) which led to the design of the Step Sofa, eventually debuting at the Saloni Milano and launching her into the spotlight at the young age of 40. Amidst all of these accomplishments, she had a stint at Lissoni Associati, beginning in 1993, where she developed furniture for Italian giants Cappellini and Cassina. Her designs are unconventional, emphatic, and experimental, blending humanist sensibilities and technical expertise" qualities that also inform her work as an architect. The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Barcelona is one of her many architectural projects.

Bloor Lounge Chair

The Eileen Gray Transat Chair was used as a deck chair at the famous Villa E 1027 at Roquebrune Menton. It was originally registered under the name "Transat" by Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici in 1927. The name Transat was used as an abbreviation for Transatlantic referring to steamship travel and the deck chairs commonly used on such ships. The Transat Chair has become one of Eileen Gray's most enduring and signature pieces.
Eileen Gray was born in Enniscorthy in Ireland in 1878. She died in Paris in 1976. She was from an immigrant family and attended the Slade School in London, before finally moving to France in 1907. Following an initial experimental period with lacquers, she became increasingly involved in furniture design, and later in architectural projects. Her designs are widely recognized as being highly original and refined. These characteristics can clearly be seen in the design of the Transat Chair.

American architect and interior designer Warren Platner was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1919. Platner attended Cornell University, graduating with a degree in architecture in 1941. Shortly after, he began working with legendary architects Raymond Loewy and I.M. Pei from 1945 to 1950, and with Eero Saarinen from 1960 to 1965. During this time he was part of the design process of many historically important projects including the Dulles International Airport, in Washington, D.C., the Repertory Theater at Lincoln Center, and several dormitories for Yale University. Platner joined Kevin Roche"s firm as the head of interior design, becoming more involved with interior and industrial design, as he believed that the essence and character of a building"s design should come from within.
In 1967, having gained a wealth of expertise and knowledge from working for architect-design luminaries, Platner decided to open his own firm, Platner Associates. Not limiting itself to architecture, it also experimented in furniture design, lighting, textiles, and interiors. From the late 1960s onwards, he exhibited widely and worked on a variety of interior design and architecture projects, including the interior design of the Ford Foundation headquarters (1967) in New York, the Georg Jensen Design Center (1968) also in New York, the interior to the American Restaurant in Kansas (1974), the interiors for Water Tower Place (1976) in Chicago, and the Windows on the World Restaurant (1976) atop the World Trade Center in New York.
In the 1960s, as the modernist movement became more expressive, Platner focused on a quieter aesthetic, wishing to create more graceful structures. In 1966 Platner, in collaboration with Knoll , unveiled the Platner Collection"a series of sleek modern chairs, ottomans and tables that rest on an intricately sculpted base of cylindrical steel rods replicating a moir pattern. Requiring over 1,000 welds for one piece alone, the complex design is a close marriage of architecture and industrial design. Though Platner designed other pieces, the Platner Collection was his most renowned collection that ultimately made a name for himself in furniture design.
