Pair Florence Knoll Slipper Lounge Chairs Knoll Associates 1970s

Florence Knoll for Knoll Associates Slipper Chairs, 1970s 

A timeless study in proportion and restraint, this pair of Florence Knoll slipper chairs reflects the designer’s architectural approach to modern living. Originally introduced in 1955 as Model 51, the design remains one of Knoll’s most enduring—refined, minimal, and effortlessly versatile.

Produced by Knoll Associates, Inc., New York in the 1970s, these authentic examples retain their original chrome-plated steel frames, offering a clean, linear foundation that defines the silhouette. The chairs have been professionally reupholstered in Maharam fabric, featuring a richly textured blue geometric weave that feels both current and true to the period.

The original Knoll Associates label remains intact beneath the chairs, further confirming authenticity.

Well-proportioned and comfortable, each chair measures approximately 28 inches high, 28 inches wide, and 32 inches deep, with a seat height of around 16 inches—ideal for both lounge and conversational settings.

Presented in excellent vintage condition, the upholstery is fresh and expertly executed, while the chrome frames show minor, age-appropriate wear and light patina, consistent with well-preserved Knoll pieces.

Sold as a matching pair, this set offers a rare opportunity to acquire authentic Florence Knoll seating that has been thoughtfully restored and is ready for immediate use.
