SHERU BARSTOOL

SHERU BARSTOOL

Designed by Martin Bergmann, Gernot Bohmann and Harald Gründl

The design language of our popular Sheru program is continued in this elegant barstool, which offers a soft and comfortable seat at a bar, at a high dining table, or for a short meeting in a modern office. It can be upholstered in casual or formal style, and the cover can be removed by skilled personnel.

DESIGNERS

MARTIN BERGMANN, GERNOT BOHMANN AND HARALD GRÜNDL

The careers of the design trio EOOS began in Herrenberg at Walter Knoll – numerous products have been realized together.

EOOS, namely Martin Bergmann, Gernot Bohmann and Harald Gründl, take their name from one of the four horses pulling the chariot of the sun god Helios in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. They describe their approach as “poetic analysis”.

A tool they use to explore the deeper meaning of images, rituals and myths as a basis for new designs. Through examining the culture of human rituals, EOOS question the meaning and function of design and provide their own answers. The work of the team has so far been recognized by more than 130 design prizes, including the Compasso d'Oro.

The three Austrian designers met while studying together at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.

Today they are still based in the city, where they create designs destined for projects from Milan to Toronto, New York to Herrenberg.

Walter Knoll and EOOS have now been working together for more than 20 years. It all began in 1997 with a draft design for the Jason sofa, which is still part of the current Walter Knoll Collection, and a shared vision: to create living spaces.

The ongoing and close partnership has resulted in around 100 further products and numerous awards to date. Each design is created with a focus on people, and demands of modern life and work. The most recent result of this extremely productive and longstanding collaboration: the innovative shell chair Sheru.

DETAIL

CHAIR TECHNOLOGY

Thanks to new chAIR technology, the breathable design offers exceptional seating comfort and ventilation.

INNOVATIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Sheru makes minimal use of material for an upholstered chair. All the materials can be easily separated after a long lifecycle, and separately re-used.

LIGHT, VERSATILE, SUSTAINABLE.

Our Sheru barstool with backrest is available in two different seat heights, covered with leather, fabric, or a combination of both. Like all Sheru models, the barstool effortlessly brings together a balance of work, life, and feeling good.
