Knoll Otto Zapf Executive Chair in Original Saddle Brown Leather

Creator: Knoll International -Otto Zapf
Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
While modular design is commonplace today, it was still somewhat novel during the time of Otto Zapf, the designer of this now-discontinued Knoll Zapf Executive Chair.

Each cushion in Zapf’s design was intended to be swappable and interchangeable. The user can simply lift off every upholstered cushion, shown here in its beautiful original saddle brown leather, for cleaning or in the event of damage. Beneath lies an ingenious frame onto which the cushions attach securely.

This chair is the last from a collection we acquired from its original owner. Our team has meticulously polished every element, revealing a rich patina, as expected with high-grade materials such as genuine leather and steel.
