The art of leadership needs excellent tools – tools for convincing management. The new Leadchair makes a clear statement: modern understatement.

The result of a five-year development process, the swivel chair represents the DNA in design by Walter Knoll: modernity that remains timeless, the constant development of upholstery expertise, the elegant shaping of lines and surface, the honesty of function.

Its appearance is all about flowing forms and clean lines. All components and lines are precisely defined to create a harmonious whole. Soft leather modulates the elegant upholstery – a true sign of a long tradition in upholstery making. Base, rotating column, seat and back fork, and the armrests seem all of a piece. Take a seat, lean back, feel good. The angle between the seat and the backrest opens. The seat moves back and down. The supportive effect of the back can be set individually using the rotary cylinder under the seat. Healthy sitting thanks to the synchronised mechanism. Whether as an executive chair, a conference chair or a visitor chair. For that special comfort of modern leadership culture.

The Leadchair is available in a number of different variants: as an executive chair, a conference chair and as a visitor chair

Healthy sitting thanks to the synchronised mechanism

Innovative technology: the back third of the seat moves down slightly as you lean back. For that special seating comfort

The strong power of the minimalist form. The backrest protects and supports your back like a shield

Appealing value added: fine gaps in the seamless cushion result from the modulated upholstery surface. This enables body heat to circulate better. Your spine is given optimum support. Your shoulder blades can move freely

Rotating column, framework and armrest are so precise they seem all of a piece

The framework is self-explanatory. Every function is visible, nothing is concealed
