Transcending time
Successful design knows no expiry date. On the contrary: what is already good becomes valuable over time. The function proves its worth. The comfort is compelling, the shape pleasing, the classic is strong enough to adapt – so that it stays.
Since 1949, Vostra has been synonymous with modern living. Initially standing on tubular steel legs, the chair also rested on softer-looking wooden legs from the 1950s. Clear, modern and with discreetly upholstered button tufting, it drew a fine line in the design of the fifties.
To celebrate its seventieth birthday, we are reloading the classic with solid wood legs, a sensitive evolution. Ensuring Vostra Wood cuts a convincing figure whatever the course of events. And remains forever young.

Walter Knoll clearly professes to sustainable economic activity. Thinking ecologically, acting responsibly and sustainably – a philosophy they live and breathe in the company and always have. One important aspect is enduring design quality. Durability applies not only to the appearance but also to the material.
Minimalist and timeless design is sustainable design. Because the use of natural materials, the minimal use of resources and aesthetic durability are characteristic of our design and architecture. This is how durability becomes ecology – even at the early stage of the draft. With their permanent, tested quality, our products are quite genuinely companions for life – not just for years but for decades.
