Designed by florence knoll in 1956, model 65a lounge chair is one of the most recognizable and enduring expressions of mid-century modern design. Influenced by the clean lines and rational principles of modern architecture, knoll created furniture that was elegant, functional, and perfectly suited to both corporate and residential interiors. Model 65a exemplifies this philosophy through its balanced proportions, refined grid-tufted upholstery, and slender steel frame, resulting in a design that feels as relevant today as it did nearly seventy years ago.
this exceptional pair has been fully restored and newly upholstered in a luxurious pierre frey wool, selected for its rich texture, durability, and understated elegance. The upholstery enhances the chair’s sculptural form while respecting the sophisticated character of the original design. Combined with the polished metal bases, the result is a striking balance between warmth and architectural precision.
what makes this set particularly remarkable is its provenance. Both chairs retain their original rolex metal identification tags, indicating they were commissioned for and used by rolex. They were produced in march of 1965 (see picture of original stamp). Corporate pieces with such direct and visible provenance are rarely found on the market, offering a unique glimpse into the furnishing standards of one of the world’s most prestigious luxury brands.
comfortable, versatile, and instantly recognizable, these model 65a lounge chairs represent the very best of florence knoll’s design legacy. Their combination of iconic modernist design, premium restoration, and documented rolex provenance makes this pair an outstanding addition to any discerning collection or interior. This piece has an attribution mark,
