Light now even lighter
Liz, has a ring of beauty to it, but also sounds like ‘less’. And with that, the secret to this pure chair is aired. And its new variant, Liz-M, goes even one step further when it comes to sticking to essentials.
Liz-M means: less is more. More minimalism, more lightness – in construction, upholstery and handling. Maximum comfort with a minimum weight. Because Liz-M has an intelligent construction: the cover is made of one piece, the knitted fabric becomes the upholstery – making Liz-M the comfort champion among the conference chairs. Liz-M is versatile: for flexible use round a conference table, at events, congresses, lectures – free-standing or attached in rows, up to twelve chairs can be safely stacked; comfy with a pad on the armrest. And Liz-M makes sense: its design demonstrates resolute reserve in the use of material. The result is a chair or maximum sustainability – because its reduced components are perfect in terms of separation and recycling.

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.
