368 Votteler Stool Stool Walter Knoll

Addition to the classic: 368 Votteler Stool by Walter Knoll

The Votteler Stool by Walter Knoll is the stylish extension of the iconic Votteler Chair - understated in expression, sophisticated in detail. With its minimalist form, fine upholstery and delicate frame, the stool quotes the characteristic design language of the 1950s and brings it into the present day. It not only offers a comfortable footrest, but also impresses as an independent piece of seating furniture in living or reception areas. Manufactured with the utmost care and using high-quality materials, the Votteler Stool combines nostalgic charm with contemporary comfort.

Walter Knoll - furniture with a history

The company's history has its origins in a "leather shop" in Stuttgart, which was opened in 1865 by the forefather of the Knoll dynasty, Wilhelm Knoll. In the same year, the seating furniture manufacturer demonstrated his craftsmanship as purveyor to the court of the King of Württemberg. 42 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. In 1925, Walter Knoll founded his own upholstered furniture factory, which has borne his name ever since, in order to set himself apart from the design of his father's company. In addition to leather, coloured fabrics were now also used as upholstery materials. In the 1920s, the invention of the anti-mott 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, pointed 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.
