Knoll 1966 Collection Adjustable Chaise Lounge in Onyx
Knoll 1966 Collection Adjustable Chaise Lounge in Onyx sold individually In the 1950s, Florence Knoll commissioned industrial designer Richard Schultz to create outdoor furniture that could withstand corrosive sea air and maintain integrity over time. The 1966 Collection debuted in March 1966 and was hailed by Schultz as "a breath of fresh air" for modernists. According to him, outdoor furniture should embrace the elements and allow wind, sun, and rain to freely pass through, functioning like a part of the environment. Even today, these chaise lounges are relevant in design circles, with durable and practical features that stand the test of time. The 1966 chaise lounge can be easily repositioned with large wheels that move independently on differential axles. The design features a durable powder-coated finish and a breathable woven mesh.
