True to the Knoll ethos, Italian architect Piero Lissoni’s new KN Collection is a family of lounge chairs, settees, and ottomans that navigate seamlessly between residential and workplace applications.

The collection combines a nuanced sense of proportion with exquisite detailing in Lissoni’s signature refined aesthetic.

Now, Knoll has introduced the KN06 armchair and KN07 chair for 2021 to further the family.

For this continuation of the KN Collection, Lissoni has designed a new lounge chair, a high-back chair, an ottoman, two armchairs, a settee, and the latest addition, and a four-legged armless chair.

Lissoni’s first design in the series, KN01, debuted in 2018 with seating in a smooth, curved shell is the common dominator throughout, creating a fluid and minimalist design.

An extensive assortment of materials and finishes add further character to each item as well as accentuating its versatility to fit different living spaces. the seven collections include a lounge chair, high back chair, ottoman, armchair, settee and soft seating solutions.

With more relaxed proportions, the KN04 armchair and KN05 settee were added in 2019: the two seats are positioned lower and with a more reclined orientation, perfect for moments of personal time at home or in collective spaces.

The conspicuous fixed structure, made from chrome-plated or coated metal rods, complements the slim upholstered, polyurethane shell.

As the middle family of the collection, the designs prolong the collection’s image with curved, elegant and instantly recognizable forms.

Its contemporary language pays homage to the classics yet is modern always. the long-term collaboration pairs elegance and poise at home in living rooms and studies, or in large collective contract spaces, such as waiting rooms, lobbies and informal offices.

The new KN06 and KN07 chairs for 2021 have the same impeccable style, capable of making every moment a precious opportunity for complete relaxation, open interaction and the pleasure of socializing, or for use in private spaces set aside for regeneration in a dimension of personal identity.

The armchair’s characteristic fiberglass shell can be coated in glossy white or black, or dressed in a choice of fabric or leather upholstery.

inside, the slim structure becomes even more welcoming and enveloping thanks to a soft seat cushion.

The armless chair can also be dressed in a choice of fabric or leather.

Its design is seamless as the inner and outer surfaces of the seat join in a single soft, fluid line. both furniture pieces sit atop four fixed legs or height-adjustable swivel base.

In September, at the 2021 edition of the Salone del Mobile, the brand plans to unveil a version of the KN06 and KN07 with a column base structure.

Knoll’s KN Collection is intended for use in the home as well as informal offices.
