Timeless elegance for restful spaces, in private and in public. The connoisseur will recognize its charm at first sight: this chair for reading and resting was designed in 1956 by architect Arno Votteler for Walter Knoll. It chronicles the inspirations that blossomed from the zeitgeist at the time: Scandinavian practicality and austere design in the best sense of the word. This chair is an early 1950s production and is newly upholstered. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
