Walter Knoll Bao armchair • swivel
The generous, round shapes of the Bao Armchair make it likeable straight away. With its sculptural shape and the artfully designed patchwork reverse, reminiscent of a leather ball, the armchair becomes a special eye-catcher. The swivel fauteuil is available in all fabric and leather combinations and can be covered either entirely in fabric or entirely in leather. At first glance and at second glance alike, the Bao Armchair convinces with its special character. Its likeable design transfers quite naturally to the room and fits harmoniously into the most varied settings. There is no fixed place for this versatile all-rounder: the Bao Armchair suits numerous areas of use and gives every room character and charm. Walter Knoll products stand for flexible uses and versatile configurations.

Note: the leather hides are selected by specialists according to strict specifications and high inspection standards. By nature, leather has soft and firm areas, which may also be processed next to one another. It stretches with body heat and moisture during use. This produces a certain degree of waves and creases (known as seat indentations). Favourite seats show this particularly clearly. This adaptation process is largely complete after a few weeks. Further stretching is minimal and inconspicuous. Depending on the tanning method, dyeing and surface treatment, leather initially has a smell typical of the material. It decreases noticeably over the course of a few weeks. Airing can speed this up. Walter Knoll uses several leather hides (between five and seven) for one upholstery suite. No hide is like another. Insect bites, small injuries from fences or traces of fighting leave small scars on the cowhide, which you may rediscover in the leather. Fattening folds are a sign of the animal's health and good nutrition. These material-typical characteristics do not impair the quality of the leather furniture. Differences in sheen, colour and structure within one hide and between the cut parts of a cover are also characteristic and typical of leather furniture.
