Walter Knoll FK lounge chair
To this day the FK shell chair stands worldwide for timelessly valid design. The classic has been developed further into a modern, swivelling lounge chair and can be used in many ways – as a solitary piece, in company or as an addition to sofa and lounge groups. Developed by Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm, the FK combines timeless elegance with a modern design language. In the 1960s the shell chair set new design standards and became the emblem of a modern understanding of design. In 1969 the FK shell chair received the Bundespreis für Gute Form, awarded for the first time, in recognition of its outstanding design.

Note: the hides are selected by specialists according to strict specifications and high testing standards. By nature, leather has soft and firm areas of skin, which may also be worked side by side. It stretches in use through body heat and moisture. This produces a certain degree of waves and creases (known as seat impressions). Favourite spots document 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 diminishes noticeably over the course of a few weeks and airing can speed this up. For one upholstery group, Walter Knoll works several hides (between five and seven). No hide is like another. Insect bites, minor injuries from fences or traces of fighting leave small scars on the cowhide that you may rediscover in the leather. Growth 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 a hide and between the cut parts of a cover are also characteristic and typical of leather furniture.
