Walter Knoll Cuoio chair • without armrests
The logic of minimalism determines the shape and materials of the Cuoio Chair. Leather and steel form its skin and frame respectively. The leather adapts to the body, while the backrest and lacing flex and give resiliently. The Cuoio Chair is available with or without armrests – entirely in black or in natural brown tones.
The special detail of the Cuoio Chair is the slits in the backrest. They serve three functions at once: they are ergonomic, structural and, at the same time, a defining design element. Beneath the seat surface, lacing provides additional elastic support. Without any padding materials, this creates a minimalist, characterful yet comfortable chair. Durability and sustainability also result from this consistent concept.
Over time, the leather develops an individual patina and gains character. On the origins of the design, the designers of EOOS say: "We wanted to build our first saddle-leather chair, a chair like no other before it." Inspired by the minimalism of fashion designer Helmut Lang, the Viennese design team developed a chair whose shape follows consistently from its function, yet still appears poetic. "With even less material – and it would start to float." – EOOS

Note: The selection of hides is carried out by specialists according to strict guidelines and high quality standards. Leather naturally has both soft and firm areas of hide, which may be processed side by side. It stretches with body heat and moisture during use, resulting to some extent in waves and creases (so-called seating hollows). Favourite seating spots show this particularly clearly. This adaptation process is largely complete after a few weeks; any further stretching is minimal and barely noticeable. Depending on the tanning method, dyeing and surface treatment, leather initially has a characteristic smell, which fades noticeably over a few weeks; airing can speed this up. Walter Knoll uses several hides for a single upholstered set. No two hides are alike. Insect bites, small marks from fences or scuffles can leave small scars on the cattle hide, which you may rediscover in the leather. Growth folds are a sign of the animal's health and good nutrition. These material-specific characteristics do not affect the quality of the leather furniture. Variations in sheen, colour and texture within a single hide, and between the cut pieces of a cover, are also characteristic and typical of leather furniture.
