About the Item
Designed in the 1970s for Knoll International furniture, this Otto Zapf office chair exudes an air of comfort, featuring generously-padded, pillow-like cushions upholstered in its original black leather. The office chair features a five-star swivel base with tilt adjustment functionality.
Designed by Otto Zapf for Knoll International in 1970s.
Otto Zapf was a renowned German designer and furniture designer known for his work with Knoll International, a major American furniture company. Zapf’s design approach was deeply rooted in modernist principles, emphasizing functionality, simplicity, and high-quality materials. While he worked on various projects over his career, his association with Knoll brought him to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s.
Zapf’s work for Knoll is often associated with the mid-century modern movement, which was characterized by clean lines, organic forms, and a minimalist aesthetic. He was one of several notable designers who worked with Knoll during this period, which also included other luminaries such as Eero Saarinen, Florence Knoll, and Harry Bertoia.
His pieces often reflected the era’s spirit of innovation and the growing trend of integrating modernist design with mass production techniques, which allowed for functional yet aesthetically striking furniture that could be more widely distributed.
