Live Show of Flip Flap

Crowds at the awards scene, Flip Flap and its new fans.

A new feeling arising from “weaving”

The multi-faceted design, originating from “Origami”, can cope with various body bending postures. Besides, the modern and novel design makes users free of fatigue from long sitting.      

The comfort of natural support: the multi-faceted design inspired by origami surrounds the body naturally.

Pelvis and side support mechanism: The pelvis is supported from the back and sides of the chair through the linkage between chair back and the waist, thereby reducing the body load.

Concentration, rest and relaxation: Posture changes by 10°, locking angle of 23°, can be tilted back more than previous products, and even lying position can be effectively supported.

Easy switch between different work modes

What is it like to sit in a Flip Flap for a whole day?

Example:

09:00 Start Working (concentrated)

You need to straighten your back, then the chair will provide support against the waist and both sides, which holds the back and waist, and helps you to throw yourself totally into work.

12:00 Lunch Break (relaxed)

Stretch yourself, the chair will respond automatically. Unfold the support plate on both sides. Rest the waist and have yourself totally relaxed. When you need to work continuously for a long time, a relaxed posture may help to improve work efficiency.

16:00 Work (relaxed)

 

At this time, all you need to do is to lean your body slightly backward. The chair will wrap your waist tightly to provide support for the waist and back, and have the body totally relaxed.

16:00 Chatting Moments (relaxed)

Even when you are talking to a colleague at the next table, which causes posture change to your upper back, the back of the chair will flexibly change its shape and fit the body curve to provide optimal support.

Knoll is successful example of Bauhaus furniture system

“Good design is good business”. This concise saying has became  Knoll’s motto. Knoll played an important role in the design and promotion of world modern furniture market in the 20th century. As a multinational company, Knoll took the growing momentum during European and American economic construction after World War II and devoted itself to the office furniture and interior design. Knoll’s design philosophy: Architecture and interior design must work together to create an integrated, harmonious, efficient and pleasant space so as to improve work efficiency and lifestyle. Since the 1950s, Knoll has carried out extensive innovations in office furniture & seating, home furniture and furniture series, and has committed to building modern workspace and increasing work efficiency to meet business needs.

Hans Knoll, the founder, was born in Stuttgart, Germany. His father had close relationship with Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe who were masters of architecture. They manufactured modern furniture for Bauhaus and have gradually established modern designing system.  A number of talent designers have also been attracted to join Knoll design team. Hans Knoll, who was then only 23 years old, received systematic and advanced education in design in Europe, and was primarily influenced by Bauhaus school and Dutch style school. He believes that modern furniture should have first-class design, and should be masterpieces from advanced technology and new materials. In 1943, Hans Knoll met Florence Schust in the United States. At the request of Hans Knoll, she joined Knoll and began their lifelong cooperation. Florence has professional background in both architecture and design, which has greatly contributed to Knoll’s career. Outstanding design talents gathered in Knoll to conduct design of modern furniture and indoor facilities.

Since its establishment, hundreds of famous designers around the world have contributed to Knoll. Furniture masterpieces from Knoll have been saved in major museums in the world, and New York Museum of Modern Art has collected 30 classic pieces of Knoll’s furniture works.
Knoll has its market penetration worldwide with independent or authorized branches in both Asia and Latin America. In North America, Knoll is operating four modern production lines for large-scale manufacturing. Standardized production supervised with IS09000 quality system.
