Knoll Knows Best

Leave to Knoll to bring back something that most people forgot we needed in our life: the Pollock Arm Chair. Aka the leather sling. Aka the 657. This is the perfect leather sling for every man’s home. The chair was originally designed by the late Charles Pollock in 1964 and yet the chair is as modern today as it once when it was first produced. This is the chair for you (yes you) and you won’t have to worry about looking like every douche that jumped on the Barcelona Chair fad. I love the 657 for its sleek lines – it’s sexy and sleek, which the Barcelona is not.

Knoll is now offering the re-introduced 657 in a small set of colors and although your first instinct might be to go for the tone on tone black, perhaps you should try the cinnamon. Available for $2380

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
