Otto Zapf For Knoll Executive Desk Chair
Otto Zapf For Knoll Executive Desk Chair
Out of stock
A striking and rare executive desk chair designed in 1974 by Otto Zapf for Knoll International. This model exemplifies Zapf’s departure from the sharp lines of conventional office furniture of the time, embracing a bold and sculptural softness instead. Commissioned under the direction of Bobby Cadwallader, then-president of Knoll, Zapf introduced a series of chairs defined by their comfort, generous proportions, and unique aesthetic.
The design features cushion-like volumes in rich leather, wrapped over an internal steel frame and mounted on a lacquered metal base. Its inviting, bulbous form and padded armrests make it as visually appealing as it is comfortable—perfect for a statement office or collector’s interior.
