Seller's Notes:Beautiful, functional, and flexible. Coherent on a rational and emotional level, the minimalist design is made for sitting and lounging. As seating, as daybed for resting, or as a guest bed with a comfortable reclining area. German made. Arms can be either folded up to make a backrest, or down and a cushion. The seat of the sofa also pulls out to widen to make a comfortable bed. The company's history has its origins in a "leather shop" in Stuttgart, opened in 1865 by the forefather of the Knoll dynasty, Wilhelm Knoll. In the same year, the seating furniture manufacturer demonstrates his craftsmanship as a purveyor to the court of the King of Württemberg. Forty-two years pass before son Walter takes over the company together with his brother Willy. In the meantime, branches were opened in the metropolises of St. Petersburg and Vienna. To set himself apart from the design of his father's company, Walter Knoll founded his own upholstered furniture factory in 1925, which has borne his name ever since. In addition to leather, coloured fabrics were now also used as upholstery materials. In the 1920s, the invention of the anti-mot spring and the Prodomo system revolutionised the traditional upholstered furniture trade. The furniture of the Prodomo system in particular, with its curved tubular steel frames, was already pointing the way to modernity. Walter Knoll has been expanding steadily since 2001, and the company has opened showrooms in Berlin, Hamburg, London, Paris, Stockholm, Beijing, Mumbai and Adelaide (Australia) in the last 10 years.
