Design Don Chadwick, 2009
glass-reinforced polypropylene, polyurethane foam
Made in USA by Knoll
The Spark Series Lounge Chair brings energy to every room - or patio - with its bright colors and unique personality. A perfect balance of design and utility, the chairs are pleasing to the eye, comfortable and they stack!
Don Chadwick designed the Spark Series on Knoll Director of Design Benjamin Pardo’s request for a lightweight, stackable plastic chair. Pardo was confident that Chadwick, one the premier ergonomics experts in the world, would bring maximum comfort and Knoll quality to the so-called “plastic stacker” category.
Chadwick: “the whole program is built around portability, stackability, and easy storage. But still providing a maximum amount of comfort. Each chair has its own personality. One looks much lighter in scale, the other one lower slung, a little bit wider, a little bit deeper — because the seating position for lounging is different from the more upright, attention-getting positions you’d have for a side chair or a dining chair. Also, we can dress the chair up or down depending on whether we apply a cushion to the seat, which gives variability in terms of color, texture and pattern, and gives more options to the use of the chair. I don’t know whether a chair becomes a so-called classic, but a good number of Knoll’s designs have been around for a long time, and hopefully this will have a good, long life.”
Dimensions: 25.5" w | 25.5" d | 30.5" h | seat: 17" h
