Design by Marc Krusin, 2016
This collection associates restrained and compact forms with a comfortable and generous seat. The result is a congenial and harmonious object available in three versions: a simple chair, a small armchair with low armrests and another small armchair with a formfitting backrest.
The embedded structure is available in die-cast aluminum or solid ash with a variety of finishes. The cover can be chosen from the Knoll range of leathers and velvet, wool and cotton fabrics.

Product Story
It’s much less about me (and my design), and much more about excellence in a product. Less ego, better results.” This is how Marc Krusin explains the dedication that goes into his work, in a single phrase that sums up the character of a designer whose ongoing alliance with Knoll began in 2011 with a collection of tables and seating that won the Good Design Award that same year.
The study of space and objects, with extreme attention to detail, has enabled Krusin to propose a series of items that are precisely aligned with the philosophy that has always inspired Knoll’s work: discretion and timeless quality.
“I often think about the objects I design as classics: presences that stand out for their discretion and balance. And my job is to perfect them, honing the proportions, the details, to improve their image and their functional quality. I have imagined this seating family as noble objects, that you learn to appreciate more with the passage of time. Something like a bespoke suit, that gets more elegant with wear. For this collection I wanted to create bespoke beauty, perceptible in the fine workmanship and the details.”
Armchairs and chairs from Krusin Collection 016 will soon be avaliable in our e-store.
