I am guessing they are from the early 2000s. A classic mid century modern style, still in production. This set has navy blue strapping on maple frames. There is some sun fading to the seats as seen in photos, other than that they are in very good condition. Tags are still attached on the bottom of the chair. More information from the website:

“Jens Risom's designs were the first pieces conceived for and manufactured by Knoll. Due to wartime material restrictions, the side chair was originally constructed of simple maple frames and discarded parachute webbing. Described as good, honest furniture design, the collection helped establish Knoll as an early source of modern design in America.
The Risom Outdoor Collection consists of an armless lounge chair, ottoman, side chair and two side tables and features Sunbrella® webbing and solid teak lumber. Sunbrella webbing marries high design with proven durability and performance. The straps are made with reinforced Sunbrella yarns that are designed to flex, and feature a soft, supple hand that is bleach cleanable, water repellent and UV/fade resistant. The lounge and side chairs have reinforced frames with teak stretchers underneath the seat for increased strength and durability against the elements. Knoll is thrilled to bring the simplicity and artistry of Jens Risom’s designs to patios, public spaces and poolside!”
