Ethno Vibes: Klismos armchair by Knoll International

The shapely pieces of the Klismos collection by Italian designer Antonio Citterio combine modern and sustainable design in an ethnic look. From the armchair to the stool to the bench, Klismos harmonises natural materials with a dynamic design, creating an exciting design that catches everyone's eye.

The designer

The Italian architect and furniture designer Antonio Citterio studied industrial design but followed his passion for architecture and interior design already after his degree at the Politecnico di Milano. Together with his wife and architect Terry Dwan, he designed buildings in Europe and Japan in the 1980s and 1990s.

In 2000, Antonio Citterio founded the architecture and interior design firm "Antonio Citterio and Partners", which to date has developed numerous projects around the world and is now known as "ACPV Architects Antonio Cittterio Patricia Viel". In addition to his constant work as an architect, Antonio Citterio also remains true to his origins with the industrial design and collaborates with world-renowned companies. Some of his works are part of exhibitions at the MoMA in NYC and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris
