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.

free shipping. I know you’re just getting situated for Summer living outdoors but it’s hard to ignore the seating sale going on now at Knoll. All of their seating selections, from stools to sofas and everything in between, are on sale and ship free. Take the opportunity now and in a couple months when you’re moving back inside you’ll have a new place to perch through the coming Fall and Winter. Harry Bertoia’s 1952 classic Bird Chair and Ottoman would be the perfect place to catch up on your reading or indulge yourself in a bit of Netflix bingeing. Better get a move on, the sale is only on until June 25th.

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.
