Apollo Chair & Ottoman, Black Premium Leather
Apollo Mid Century Modern Chair
Originally used by European heads of state at the 2002 EU summit in Copenhagen, the Apollo chair offers a rare blend of organic design and technical precision. The four padded shells provide ergonomic support, resembling the human spinal column. Its floating construction makes the Apollo chair nearly transparent, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into any room.
Making the Icon
First designed and produced in 1962, the Apollo Chair is a series specialized by Kardiel, with careful attention to its intricate original design. The chair's elliptical shape, inspired by a solar eclipse photo, showcases its iconic design. Its ergonomic, organic style and technical efficiency provide support to the body. The chair's unique spine connects the shells, symbolizing human ribs, while offering ultimate comfort. Upholstery choices include Top Grain Aniline leather or Cashmere Wool Fabrics. Foam padding ensures durability, and stainless steel provides robust frame support.
Since its debut, the Apollo chair has appeared in films, television, and music videos and remains a sought-after piece for design enthusiasts. Its comfortable structure fits any décor effortlessly. Top Grain Aniline leather uses high-quality dyes, maintaining the leather's natural feel and adding stain protection for practical everyday use.

100% Genuine Top Grain Premium Aniline Leather
Top Grain Aniline leather exemplifies the highest quality. This type is dyed in a vat, allowing color to penetrate deeply, retaining the leather's authentic feel. Over time, the leather patinas, enhancing its comfort while maintaining its sophisticated look.
Leather quality and price differ with types like Split Grain, which lacks the top cowhide surface. In contrast, high-grade Aniline leather ensures natural appearance and durability.
