An example of precise craftsmanship, classically austere but at the same time exceptionally comfortable – the Saddle Chair by EOOS. Once designed as Coco Chair for Italian manufacturer Matteo Grassi, Walter Knoll is reissuing the legendary chair made of saddle leather. With improved seating comfort and new dimensions and proportions. A continuous leather robe envelops the frame. Flowing lines, elaborately polished edges and precise seams define the shape. The outstanding seating pleasure is the result of taut belts in the seat.
In the very best of company: barstool and standard stool extend the Saddle Chair range. They follow the design concept of the elegance of resolute shapes: the leather pieces are cut, edges polished and dyed, and seams drawn with great precision. The taut upholstering underlines the impression of clear finesse. For relaxed sitting at a table or bar.

“We love the strange, the paradox and the spontaneous.”
EOOS develops its talents as a team. The Austrian designers Martin Bergmann, Gernot Bohmann and Harald Gründl actually recognised the special synergy of their talents during their studies at the College of Applied Art in Vienna where they all attended Paolo Piva's design master class. In 1995, they founded a studio together and since then have constantly developed their own special methodology.
They refer to their road to creativity as poetical analysis. The designers search for the sense and function of design through the culture of human rituals. And that's how they create new concepts in product and retail design for clients such as Bulthaup, Duravit, Zumtobel, Armani Cosmetics and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
In their inspiring office in Vienna city centre, the three intransigent thinkers implement their ideas – for projects all over the world from Milan to Toronto, London to New York, Berlin to Herrenberg. Herrenberg is where the three started their career in 1997 with their fascination for the history of Walter Knoll. The spirit of the founders is more up-to-date today than ever before: designers of life's events.
To date, the team has been awarded more than 130 design prizes including the Compasso d’Oro. Special recognition: the MAK, the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, mounted an individual exhibition on EOOS in 2015 which provided insight into the designers' work process and showcased their extensive and eclectic work.

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.
