In 1966, Richard Schultz designed an outdoor collection at the request of Florence Knoll who, after retiring, wanted furniture that could withstand the Florida climate. Since then, it has been viewed as the first collection of modern outdoor furniture and has become a benchmark in this category. The 1966 collection notably includes wide and very comfortable chairs and armchairs made of aluminium and coated mesh. These chairs have a simple and timeless design that makes them easy to incorporate into your garden or on a balcony.
Founded in 1938 in the United States, Knoll is a manufacturer of designer furniture and office furniture equipment whose focus is placed firmly on excellence. Knoll has always sought to modernise design ever since it was founded. For furniture manufacturer Knoll, beautiful design is synonymous with a profitable business model. Today, the company is convinced that its principle works, as Knoll International has been a leading design company for over 70 years. Hans and Florence Knoll have developed one of the most creative and prolific companies of the post-war period. The couple imposed their design vision thanks to the Planning Unit, combining interior architecture, design, production, textiles and graphic design.
