Description

A pair of Hannah-Morrison “Sling” Lounge Chairs by Knoll, manufactured in the early production period, 1973. Completely refurbished and re-upholstered in a chenille, corduroy like fabric of thin green horizontal chenille stripes over a burnt red background, the aluminum frames are creamy white and polished chrome.  Each sporting partial Knoll labels.

Bruce Hannah (1941) and Andrew Morrison (1939-2021) collaborated creating several minimalist seating products for Knoll in the 1970s.  Using aluminum frames to create modern furniture, they introduced a “sling” lounge seating system in 1971 and it was produced through 1984.  A few variations of the “sling” chair were created throughout its production. In the early production, there was a flap held by the horizontal polished aluminum frame creating the sling, and the cushion was attached by way of buttons to the sling.

Measurements:  29 inch high back.  30″  x  34″ deep.  Seat front at 18 ” high.
