Walter Knoll Sheru bar stool • solid wood

Walter Knoll Sheru Barstool

The continuation of the popular Sheru programme's typology: the elegant Sheru barstool offers a pleasantly softly upholstered seat at the bar, at a high dining table, or for short meetings in a modern New Work office. Walter Knoll offers a choice between a relaxed or a formal Upholstery. All Cover fabrics can be removed by specialist personnel. Light, versatile and sustainable, the barstool fits into a wide range of working and living environments.

The Sheru barstool with Backrest is available in two different seat heights, covered in leather, fabric, or a combination of both materials. Like all models in the Sheru family, the barstool effortlessly combines working, living, life and wellbeing. Maximum variation and application possibilities: the Sheru barstool is part of a versatile family of chairs and armchairs that combine harmoniously with one another. All models follow the same clear design language, creating a homogeneous appearance across the entire family.

chAIR technology

Thanks to the novel chAIR technology, the breathable barstool offers high seating comfort and optimal ventilation. In doing so, Walter Knoll combines innovation with a responsible approach to materials. For the Sheru barstool, Walter Knoll relies on a minimal use of materials for an upholstered chair. After a long life cycle, the individual materials can easily be separated from one another and returned to single-material recycling streams.

The Sheru barstool with Backrest can be made in all fabrics and a wide range of leathers – combined or entirely in one material. The Cover is removable. Frame and Cover are separable and recyclable.

The Sheru programme, consisting of chair, armchair and barstool, offers maximum variation and application possibilities. All models follow the same design language – even when combining different Frames and variants, the appearance remains homogeneous across the ensemble.

Note: leather hides are selected by specialists according to strict criteria and high inspection standards. Leather naturally has both soft and firm areas of hide, which may also be processed side by side. It stretches through body heat and moisture during use. This results, to a certain extent, in waves and creases (so-called seating hollows). 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 product-typical smell. This noticeably diminishes over the course of a few weeks. Airing can accelerate this process. Walter Knoll uses several leather hides for one upholstery group. No hide is the same as another. Insect bites, small injuries from fences, or marks from fighting leave small scars on the cattle hide, which you may rediscover in the leather. Feeding 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.
