About the Item

Modernism; Knoll International; Minimalist Design; Florence Knoll; 1966; Richard Schultz; Florida; United States; Outdoor Furniture; Chaises longues by Richard Schultz from his 1966 collection. Designed at the request of Florence Knoll, who after retirement longed for outdoor furniture that could withstand Florida's corrosive sea air. The bright white steel frame is combined with a refined wood surface, seamlessly blending elegance and robustness. Unlike the usual aesthetic of the time, this collection avoids unnecessary curves and opulent embellishments. Instead, clean lines and simple shapes are used, highlighting the natural beauty of the materials used. These pieces appealed to lovers of modern design, offering a respite from the prevailing archaic styles and introducing a new era of outdoor elegance. To complete the set, check out our range of additional lounge chairs that harmonize perfectly with these sunbeds and create an oasis of refined comfort. These chaises longues are priced per piece.

  • Chaise Longue Model 242 by Mies van der Rohe for Knoll International, 1980's
    By Knoll, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
    Located in Oud Beijerland, NL
    The adjustable Model 242 MR Chaise Lounge was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927. This particular example was produced in 1980 by Knoll International in the USA. The chaise features a high quality white leather channel-upholstered cushion that rests atop a tubular steel frame. The cushion is attached to the frame with leather strips which wrap around the belting support straps and are secured with snap buttons. The seamless stainless steel tubular frame is bright and has no damage. The white leather has developed a nice patina. Overall, this chaise is in good condition with light wear. Please see photos. This Chaise Longue was designed by Mies van der Rohe in 1927 as part of his contribution to the Weissenhof exhibit in Stuttgart, Germany. The MR Collection represents some of his earliest steel furniture designs. Made of tubular chromed steel and leather, this iconic piece was edited by Knoll International in the 70s. As a company that produced many of the most famous and iconic furniture designs of the 20th century, Knoll was a chief influence in the rise of modern design in the United States. Their work would help change the face of the American home and office. The Bauhaus Master Marcel Breuer influenced Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's use of tubular steel. This was apparent in his design of the MR Adjustable...

  • Barcelona Daybed by Mies Van Der Rohe for Knoll International, 1960s, Signed
    By Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Knoll
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    This iconic and authentic (both the leather cushion and the Mahogany frame is signed with Knoll International labels) daybed is the 'Barcelona Daybed' also referred to as the 'Barcelona Couch' by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Knoll International and is considered an 'early original production collectors example' as it is from Knoll's earlier years of producing this design in the 1960s and 1970s before they changed to different manufacturing processes during the 1980s. This example is signed with a Knoll International label that has the 320 Park Ave address and is dated on the back of the label July 9, 1975. To determine the estimated production year we note that the date most likely corresponds to the retailer or possibly the Knoll sold/ ship date. The address of 320 Park Ave changed to Fifth Ave in 1970 and Knoll Associates did not become Knoll International until 1968. Therefore we would pinpoint the production year to be between 1968 and 1970. It is possible that it was slightly after 1970 that this example was produced as it is believed that Knoll continued to use labels with the older 320 Park Ave for several months to a couple years after changing addresses, however generally speaking 1970s examples will be labelled with their Fifth Ave address. All construction details also indicate a 1st-Generation 'original' production by Knoll as their production did not change throughout the Knoll Associates years and through the first half of the Knoll International years. This rare original 1st-Generation 'Barcelona Daybed' features its original brown leather upholstery with subtle patina and wear throughout. These traces of age and use bring more vibrancy to the leather, giving this piece an on-trend lightly distressed look. The original bolster pillow in matching brown leather is secured to the cushion and platform via straps and lock snaps. The platform is crafted from stained Mahogany and supported by polished tubular stainless steel legs and the original leather straps are all in-tact. Both the cushion is labelled and the platform frame as well with a partial Knoll International sticker label as can be seen in the photo gallery. Considered to be the epitome of modern design, Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich originally designed the Barcelona chair in 1929 to serve as seating for the king and queen of Spain in the German Pavilion. This was Germany's entry for the International Exhibition, hosted by Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed in 1930 the Barcelona daybed (also referred to as the Barcelona Couch) emanates this seminal design, paralleling the same simplicity and elegance of the iconic Barcelona chair. This Barcelona couch by Mies van der Rohe for Knoll International is ideal for a living room, family room, study, den or lounge. It would also be an Apt choice in a corporate, retail or hospitality location such as a boutique hotel lobby, cocktail bar, members club, workspace studio, executive office or in a retail boutique...
