Chairs by Robert Venturi for Knoll

"Robert Venturi came out of the same anti-design strand as Ettore Sottsass but was more interested in the heritage-inspired rhetoric of Post-Modernism. Taking forms and images from previous historical styles, he remodeled and recontextualized them in his buildings and furniture."
