Walter Knoll Ishino armchair

Walter Knoll Ishino armchair

Walter Knoll and his brother Willy founded the tradition of the club chair in 1907. With Ishino, this tradition finds a contemporary continuation. The armchair from the Ishino range is available in various combination covers and, with its softly rounded shapes and particularly soft upholstery, invites you to linger. Take a generous seat, let the pleasantly rounded back enclose you and sink into the soft upholstery – Ishino conveys a feeling of security.

The material positively draws us in and gives us the feeling of being bedded as if in a shell. The design by Dai Sugasawa stands for balanced proportions and a high design standard. The Japanese-born designer draws his inspiration from the strength and diversity of different cultures. In the Ishino range, this influence shows in a clear and balanced sweep, casual yet precise folds and carefully placed seams.

The range designed by Dai Sugasawa addresses a deep human need with its sensitive softness: the longing for comfort, calm and security. Coziness and landscaping combine into a versatile overall concept. Sofas, armchairs, stools and tables can be combined flexibly with one another and allow individual room landscapes.

Different levels, volumes and functions create varied scenarios and give rooms a special atmosphere. Ishino creates places where a feeling of security becomes tangible – and invites you to share this feeling with others.

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.
