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.
