The Washington Collection for Knoll by David Adjaye

Tanzania-born architect David Adjaye, with offices throughout the world, brings his vast array of influences and architectural know-how to a new collection for Knoll called The Washington Collection. The series will consist of two cantilevered side chairs, a club chair, an ottoman, a side table, and a bronze coffee table, with the side chairs and coffee table available first.

The Washington Skeleton Aluminum Side Chair is the first of his two cantilevered chairs which creates a cross between sculptural and functional with its “play between propping and balancing.” The aluminum chair, with its geometric lattice seat, is made for indoor or outdoor use and comes in black, green, grey, or copper.
