Walter Knoll Sheru High Dining Chair • Solid Wood

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 excellent seating comfort and pleasant ventilation – at the high dining table, at the kitchen island or in the meeting area. Two seat heights are available, 68.5 cm and 78.5 cm, for hours of conversation – with family, with friends, in meetings or at 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 frames, four-leg or five-leg base crosses are available. It is also possible to choose between relaxed or formal upholstery. All covers are removable. All models follow the same design language. Even when different frames and variants are combined, the overall appearance remains harmonious and consistent.

Together with design trio EOOS, the Walter Knoll 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 be easily separated from one another 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. Material and construction have been fundamentally revised. What's new: in the evo models, the upholstery is worked directly into the cover. Thanks to the intelligent construction, Walter Knoll can dispense with adhesive bonding entirely. 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

General Information

• The construction is based on the innovative chAIR technology: the plastic shell contains openings in the seat and back. In the seat area, straps are arranged in a palm-leaf pattern within the openings. Breathable and comfortable. The plastic shell is made from 100% recycled plastic.
• Base frame: 4-leg solid wood
• The white-pigmented oak and walnut-with-sapwood surface variants come with an aluminium frame and footrest with a matt powder-coated bronze finish. The flamed oak surface variant comes with a frame and footrest with a matt powder-coated black finish.
• Frame and cover are separable and recyclable.
• Note on the upholstery appearance: due to the design, slight waviness of the cover may occur with use as the materials stretch.
• Sheru chairs carry the GS mark for tested safety.
• Please note that the solid wood legs may contain sapwood, mirror surfaces and small ingrown knots. Colour and structural differences (plain or figured grain) within a single wooden leg are typical of the material.

Note: leather hides are selected by specialists according to strict guidelines and high testing 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 can lead to a certain degree of 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, dyeing and surface treatment, leather initially has a typical odour, which noticeably diminishes over the course of a few weeks; airing can speed this up. Walter Knoll uses several hides for one upholstered set. No hide is like another. Insect bites, small injuries from fences or marks from fighting leave small scars on the cowhide, which can be rediscovered in the leather. Fattening 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 structure within a single hide and between the cut pieces of a cover are likewise characteristic and typical of leather furniture.
