Walter Knoll Sheru High Dining Chair • Tubular Base Frame • without Armrests

Walter Knoll Sheru High Dining Chair • Tubular Base Frame

An elegant High Dining Chair that combines the generous Seat shell of the Sheru chAIR with a high Base frame. Thanks to the innovative chAIR technology, the breathable shell chair offers a high level of seating comfort and pleasant ventilation – at the high dining table, the kitchen island or in meeting areas. Two seat heights are available, 68.5 cm and 78.5 cm, for hours of conversation – with family, guests, in meetings or conferences.

The Sheru range offers maximum variety and numerous applications: depending on the setting and style, the Base frames can be individually configured – solid wood or tubular Base frames, as well as four-leg or five-leg Base crosses, are available. There is also a choice between relaxed or formal upholstery. All upholstery covers are removable. All models follow the same design language. Even when combining different frames and variants, the overall appearance remains harmonious and cohesive as an ensemble.

Together with design trio EOOS, Walter Knoll's development team completely rethought the technology of a shell chair. The innovation of the chAIR technology lies within 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 lifecycle, all materials can be easily separated and recycled by type.

The next generation, Sheru evo: Walter Knoll has further developed the Sheru chAIR with sustainability in mind. Sheru evo is part of Walter Knoll's evo concept. Materials and construction have been fundamentally reworked. What's new: in the evo models, the cushioning is worked directly into the cover. Thanks to this intelligent construction, Walter Knoll can dispense with adhesive bonding entirely. This creates long-term added value and represents a consistent development of the existing concept.

"EOOS designed the shell from a refined cutting pattern, like the great masters of fashion. It just seems to happen 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 sections of hide, which may also be used side by side. It stretches through body heat and moisture during use, which to some extent causes ripples and creases (so-called seating hollows). Favourite spots show this particularly clearly. This settling process is largely complete after a few weeks; further stretching is minimal and unobtrusive. Depending on the tanning method, dyeing and surface treatment, leather initially has a typical odour, which noticeably fades over the course of a few weeks and can be reduced more quickly by airing. Walter Knoll uses several hides for a single upholstered suite; no two hides are alike. Insect bites, small injuries from fences, or marks from tussles leave small scars on the cattle hide that can reappear in the leather. Growth folds are a sign of the animal's health and good nutrition. These material-typical characteristics do not affect 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.
