Based on Florence Knoll's original 1954 classic Lounge Series, the Relaxed Stool offers a more modern, comfortable profile than the original series' stool.
This versatile piece functions as a table, ottoman, and bench, reflecting Florence Knoll's dedication to objective perfectionism and rational design, influenced by her mentor Mies van der Rohe.
The “Relaxed” version stool features a soft seat and deep proportions, respecting Florence Knoll's original 1954 lounge series designs.
Shown in Carmine Nubuck Sueded Leather Upholstery on Satin Chrome Steel Base.
The Archetype Forms Relaxed Stool: One-Seater Square is a faithful reproduction of the original Florence Knoll Relaxed Stool, Model 2530YRC1.
