A complete 180
November 2, 2023
I went back and forth, for what seems like an eternity, over a handful of my favorite Knoll Textile neutrals. Then, when I finally pulled the trigger, I went with Knoll Textile’s Classic Boucle’ in Onyx. I love this fabric, I love black and I love this end result. For a design first presented in 1950, it’s looking pretty sexy.

I suppose it’s as good a method as any in trying to whittle down my choices when reupholstering this vintage Knoll Saarinen Executive Chair.
Typically I would go right to my favorite textural solids from the Knoll classics:
Classic Boucle in Neutral, North Island in Wind, Tweed Frieze in Silver Bell or Diva in Coal.
Then I consider the statement a textile inspired by fashion greats Proenza Schouler or Alexander McQueen would make. Enter Sandis in Tobacco or Arezzo in Squid Ink just to stir things up.
I guess it’s time to order some memo samples and start the edit.
