Pair of Walter Knoll "Nelson" Armchairs - Blue, Very Good Condition
Enhance your interior with this elegant double pack of Walter Knoll Nelson armchairs in deep blue. The chairs are from the renowned Nelson line, originally designed by the American designer George Nelson and realized exclusively for Walter Knoll.
Design & Origin
Designer: George Nelson (design late 1950s/early 1960s)
Manufacture: Walter Knoll, Germany
Epoch: Mid-Century Modern / Classic 60s style
Characteristics:
Slender, sculptural design language.
A secure balance between delicate elegance and solid seating comfort
Typical for Nelson: organically shaped armrests and slightly reclined backrest that invite you to sit back and relax
Materials & workmanship
Frame: High-quality beech wood, softly rounded, with a fine grain
Frame: Four-legged sled base made of polished stainless steel (slightly curved), robust yet delicate in appearance
Upholstery:
Ergonomically shaped foam padding in the back and seat area
Padded, low armrests for comfortable resting of the forearms
Cover:
High-quality, abrasion-resistant fabric in rich royal blue (light wool content), silky-matt surface
Precisely stitched seams, without visible fraying or loose threads
Comfort & ergonomics
Sitting comfort:
Pleasantly firm upholstery, provides excellent support for the back and thighs
Slightly reclined backrest promotes a relaxed sitting posture, whether at the desk, in the living room or as a stand-alone piece in the lounge area
Sitting at a high level:
The seat height allows comfortable dismounting and reassembly for a wide range of body sizes
The armrests are designed to relieve pressure on the shoulders without making the side view look bulky
Condition
Very good original condition:
Frame and stand: No wobbles or loose connections. The stainless steel base shows only minimal signs of use (microscopic scratches, almost invisible).
Upholstery and fabric: No stains, soiling, tears or fading. The upholstery is dimensionally stable, without dimpling or sagging.
Seams & edges: Impeccably intact, no ripped seams, piping or tufts.
Care instructions:
Wipe regularly with a soft cloth, treat with mild textile cleaning lotion if necessary.
Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color brilliance in the long term.

Overall height: 80 cm
Seat height: 45 cm
