Richard Schultz

Although a relatively underrated name, Richard Schultz has indelibly made his mark on the world of Mid-Century Modern furniture. He worked for Knoll, the premier mid-century furniture manufacturer, throughout the '50s and '60s. During his time at Knoll, he designed the Petal Table, which has eight wooden triangular "petals" circled together on top and an aluminum, spider-like base. Despite the ingenuity of the Petal Table, Schultz is probably most known for his work in outdoor furniture. Florence Knoll sent rusty pieces of patio furniture to Schultz and asked him and his team to develop something fit for her new home on the Floridian coast. In 1966, Knoll rolled out the Leisure Collection, a line of aluminum outdoor furniture. The line included Schultz lounge chairs and outdoor chaises made out of plastic mesh, aluminum tubes, and wheels. Peruse our collection to take a look at some of Richard Schultz's most iconic and influential designs.
