Also known as the "657 chair", it features a steel frame with die-cast aluminum armrests and crosspieces, highlighting the designer's essential and functional approach. Reissued in 2014, this chair continues to represent a perfect balance between refined aesthetics and comfort, making it ideal for both residential and professional environments.

Charles Pollock
After graduating from Pratt Institute and an experience with George Nelson, Charles Pollock presented his designs to Florence Knoll. Vincent Cafiero, a member of the Planning Unit, encouraged him to refine a promising idea: thus was born the 657 Lounge (1961), a synthesis of precision in lines, shapes and materials. In 1965, Pollock once again demonstrated his mastery with the 1250 series, an executive collection based on an innovative aluminum "edge" that served as both structure and aesthetic element. This revolutionary design, combining functionality and elegance, is still a Knoll classic.
