Walter Knoll Sheru chair • with castors

An elegant, comfortable chair that effortlessly balances working, living and wellbeing. Thanks to the innovative chAIR technology, the breathable shell chair offers high seating comfort and pleasant ventilation. Ideal for hours of conversation – with family, guests, in meetings or conferences.

The Sheru programme offers maximum variety and numerous applications: depending on the setting and style, the base frames can be individually configured – choose between solid wood or tubular frames as well as four-star or five-star bases. It is also possible to choose between relaxed or tailored upholstery. All covers are removable. All models follow the same design language. Even when combining different frames and variants, the overall appearance remains harmonious and consistent.

Together with the EOOS design trio, Walter Knoll's development team completely rethought the technology of a shell chair. The innovation of the chAIR technology lies in the seat shell: it contains hidden openings in the seat and back. In the seat area, straps are arranged in a palm-leaf pattern within these openings, creating a pleasantly springy seating feel. At the same time, the openings ensure good ventilation. After a long life cycle, all materials can easily be separated and returned as single-material recyclables.

The next generation, Sheru evo: Walter Knoll has further developed Sheru chAIR with sustainability in mind. Sheru evo is part of Walter Knoll's evo concept. Materials and construction have been fundamentally revised. New with the evo models: the upholstery is worked directly into the cover. Thanks to the intelligent construction, Walter Knoll can completely dispense with adhesives. This creates long-term added value and represents a consistent evolution of the existing concept.

"EOOS designed the shell from a refined cut, like the great masters of fashion. It happens as if by itself. Magical." – Markus Benz, CEO Walter Knoll

Note: leather hides are selected by specialists according to strict guidelines and high inspection standards. Leather naturally has both soft and firm areas of hide, which may also be processed alongside one another. It stretches through body heat and moisture during use, which to a certain extent causes waves and creases (so-called seating hollows). Favourite seating spots show this particularly clearly. This adjustment process is largely complete after a few weeks; further stretching is minimal and inconspicuous. Depending on the tanning method, colouring and surface treatment, leather initially has a typical odour, which noticeably diminishes over the following weeks; airing the room can accelerate this. Walter Knoll uses several hides for one upholstered group. No hide is identical to another. Insect bites, small injuries from fences, or marks from fighting leave small scars on the cattle hide that can be found again 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 texture within a single hide and between the cut pieces of a cover are likewise characteristic and typical of leather furniture.
