The new Foster 620 seating system symbolises the enduring partnership between Walter Knoll and the practice, which has spanned over a period of two decades. The latest range is a flexible multi-component system that offers a customised sculptural seating solution suited to a variety of different spaces. Its sweeping, curvilinear forms are designed to be welcoming and approachable, a playful contrast to the precise geometry of the earlier 500 series.
Foster 620 comprises of six seating sections that can be interchangeably combined to create different layouts. It features a straight section, a semi-circular end segment, and two types of curved elements – a compact and a lazy curve. The curved segments are designed as two complementary parts which can be laid back-to-back to create inward and outward facing seating arrangements. Each element has a short backrest and a generous seat, which are supported by thin blade-like legs that almost disappear under the seat, as it appears to float effortlessly. Timber tables with pressed leather tops, available in three different diameters – 40, 60, 100 centimetres – complete the ensemble.
