“Sapper Chair” office chair and seating system designed by Richard Sapper in 1979 for Knoll. “Sapper’s relationship with Knoll began in the ‘70s when Sapper was working as a design consultant for a number of companies, including FIAT and Knoll. While simultaneously developing a concept car and management/executive chair for the two companies, the projects came to a head. On the car prototype, Sapper substituted plastic bumpers for the metal ones FIAT had been using. While the car project was eventually scrapped, FIAT decided to retrofit all of their vehicles with plastic bumpers, putting the company’s metal factory in Turin out of business. Sapper, who felt guilty for his involvement in the company’s bankruptcy, decided to adapt the metal bumper to make the frame of the office chair, thereby saving the business. The chair’s final form is indeed reminiscent of a car seat, with its contoured shape, leather upholstery and molded armrests. A decade after its release in 1979, the Sapper Chair found its way into the offices of high-powered executives, becoming something of a status symbol in the process. A 1989 New York Time’ article was keen to note: ‘Another chair much in evidence in top-executive lairs is Knoll’s Sapper Chair. The distinctive rosette trim on the Toscana leather upholstery of the sleek Sapper Chair defuses the otherwise machine-like character of ergonomic design’. For Sapper, however, the chair’s true virtue is not its style, but it’s staying power.” (Knoll) The Sapper Chair remained in production until 2017 #richardsapper #richardsapperdesign #design #industrialdesign #designer #productdesign #interiordesign #office #architecture #chair #officechair #designlovers #archilovers #archdaily #dezeen #designboom #designmilk #archdigest #architecturaldigest #elledecor #vogueliving #domus #azure #curbed #designmuseum #triennale #centrepompidou #moma #wallpapermagazine #houzz
