Vintage East Side Lounge Chair by Ettore Sottsass for Knoll Inc. Knoll International, 1980s

Wonderful Lounge Chair with its original soft leather upholstery in great condition. This suburb lounge chair features gray lacquered steel feet with translucent plastic end pieces. Designed by Ettore Sottsass and manufactured by Knoll. In 1983, two years after the founding of Memphis, Sottsass splintered off from his collective to partner with Knoll Studio, creating the Eastside and Westside collections. Inspired by his lifelong love of Viennese Biedermeier chairs, characterized by plush seats with clean lines and minimal adornment, the collection consisted of geometric sofas and lounge chairs in color-blocked upholsteries.
