Know before you buy
The armpads provide a softer, upholstered touchpoint for your forearms, which can be more comfortable for extended periods of sitting. The version without armpads highlights the clean, architectural lines of the flat bar steel frame for a more minimalist aesthetic.
Yes, the chair is designed with high-density foam cushioning to provide consistent support. It is built for durability, though it is a stationary chair intended for lounge or office settings rather than deep relaxation.
Polished chrome and stainless steel offer a bright, reflective look that is generally easy to wipe clean. The antiqued bronze and satin finishes provide a more matte, textured appearance that may show fingerprints or dust less readily than high-polish options.
No, the Flat Bar Brno Chair arrives fully assembled. You can place it directly into your space as soon as it is unboxed.
The KT Collection is designed to offer the same iconic Mies van der Rohe aesthetic and high-quality construction at a more accessible price point. It maintains the signature flat bar steel frame and comfort standards expected of a Knoll piece.
