Apollo Mid Century Modern Chair

Apollo was the chair used by the chiefs of state in Europe during the EU summit in Copenhagen in Dec. 2002. A rare combination of organic expression and technical streamlining. The four upholstered shells give maximum support of the body with overt associations to both spinal column and ribs of the human anatomy. Due to its floating constellation, Apollo seems to be almost transparent and effortlessly blends in with the room.

Making the Icon

The original Apollo Chair was designed and went into limited production in 1962. Kardiel specializes in this series and understands fully the intricacies of the original design. Both the elliptical design of the chair and its name were inspired by a time-lapse photograph of a solar eclipse. This stunning reproduction has the unmistakable look of the original 1962 design. The essential design is a rare combination of organic expression, ergonomics and technical streamlining. The four separate oval shaped upholstered shells meet your back at specific ergonomic zones, providing comfort and support to the body and the spinal column. Apollo has a spine of its own running down the back of the chair which joins the four shells together. The shells represent ribs and are attached to the spine embracing the ultimate design of human anatomy. The upholstery options are Top Grain Aniline leather or a wide range of Cashmere Wool Fabrics. The oval shells are heavily padded and made of moulded polyurethane foam. The frame and legs are made from pure Stainless Steel metal.

Since the Apollo chair's debut it has become quite the requested piece, and has graced many movie screens, television and even the latest music videos. It was the official chair used in the 2002 at the Chiefs of State meeting at the EU summit in Copenhagen. It has become the original designers most famous design to date, and it is a design that smoothly blends with any décor. In reference to practicality it exudes comfort, and is now an icon that is incredibly unique.

Genuine Top Grain Aniline Leather

A small percent of the world’s leather supply is of high enough quality for 100% Top Grain Aniline upholstered furniture. Aniline Dyeing is the process of soaking the hides in transparent aniline dyes which allows color to absorb into the natural hide. Top Grain Aniline leather is then topical stain protected to minimize liquid absorption during every day use but does not require imitation grain stamping methods which imprint a Faux grain over the majority of the leather surface. Without all the synthetic topical coatings, it breathes naturally making it comfortable for seating. It is soft, supple, durable and pliable, maintaining the characteristics of pure leather.

100% Genuine Top Grain Premium Aniline Leather

Making up only 5% of the worlds leather supply Top Grain Aniline is the best quality, softest leather we offer.

This series is upholstered in premium Top Grain Aniline European leather. This is a significant upgrade in leather options. Top Grain is the actual surface of the cowhide. While no one knows the actual number, a small percentage of furniture sold today is upholstered in Premium Top Grain Aniline leather. Some claim as low as 5%. Aniline dying describes one of the two processes in which color is applied to the leather with the dye penetrating the leather and extending beyond the surface, into the leather itself. For modern furniture requiring a clean aesthetic, Top Grain Aniline Leather is both “liquid vat” (deep penetrating) and surface dyed to achieve the main color selection and to conceal uneven tones and blemishes in the hide. Top grain aniline is the softest leather and naturally breaths well. Because Top Grain refers to the actual surface of the animal hide it presents a natural leather appearance you would expect. While it is true that raw Top Grain Aniline absorbs spills easier, furniture grade Top Grain leather features a stain resistant treatment making it exceptional for everyday lower maintenance use. Although rare, nothing wears, looks or feels better than premium Aniline Top Grain leather. Over time it patinas and becomes more comfortable versus wearing out.

“Split Grain” is the most common leather used on furniture. This reproduction has been upgraded to Top Aniline leather and does not use Split Grain leather. Nonetheless, this paragraph will help explain the difference in quality and price between the leather types. Split Grain is the underside of the hide that has been separated from the surface or “top” of the hide. While defined as actual leather, Split Grain leather does not have the natural surface grain of the top of the cowhide. A topical layer of insoluble pigment is applied to the surface of split grain leather, which is then stamped or “grain embossed” to imitate the surface appearance of actual leather. This topical layer contains the color that the leather will be.
