The Jehs+Laub lounge chair and ottoman is reminiscent of the 70s with its relaxed shape and upholstery (which has a strong resemblance to polyester). Lucky for us, the Jehs+Laub lounge continues the good parts of 70s furniture design. Avocado green, for example, is welcome to go the way of the dodo.
Knoll furniture is launching a number of new designs. The Jehs+Laub lounge chair and ottoman are just part of the release that includes work from Don Chadwick and Joseph Paul D’Urso. Knoll will be displaying their new designs in Milan at the Salone in April.
