Bill Stephens for Knoll Furniture Bentwood Armchair (24 available)

Creator: Bill Stephens - Knoll
Offered by: Metro Retro Furniture

Description
Bill Stephens started at Knoll as an assistant prototype builder after his graduation from the Philadelphia Museum School of Art. He first tried to make a cane chair on a minimal frame without success. He then changed the seat to a plastic shell that, when connected to the frame, formed a total structure; with this design innovation, the 1305U chair was born. It was originally designed for installation at the Yale School of Architecture student center.
