Bao of Walter Knoll. A novelty for 2012 presented at imm Cologne

German manufacturer Walter Knoll has presented the Bao armchair at Imm Cologne, designed by Austrian EOOS Studio. Spacious and round. It's the curves that make Bao appealing on first sight.

A sumptuous sculpture with an artistic back. In the style of a leather ball, the leather patchwork forms the rear. Flowing lines - sweeping and elegant. The swivelling armchair combines the materials whilst keeping them distinct: leather on the back, fabric in the seat. Everything has its place. Bao - as familiar as a welcoming embrace.
