Colorful 1966 Featured in LA Times

Richard Schultz's 1966 Collection was featured in the Los Angeles Times in a piece highlighting colorful outdoor furniture. The piece, published on May 22, pictures the chairs and table in lime green, blue and yellow, three of the six colors newly available for Schultz's classic collection. The piece also describes the collection's durable non-corrosive aluminum, designed "to withstand the salty air of Florida." 

Richard Schultz first designed the 1966 Collection with Florida in mind. As Schultz recalls, he was specifically asked by Florence Knoll, who had recently moved to Florida, to make "some decent outdoor furniture, something that is made out of materials that won't rust and corrode." Until this year, the celebrated outdoor furniture has been available in neutral options only.

Besides adding bold variety, the new powder-coated color options–plum, yellow, lime green, blue, orange and green–allow customers to coordinate patio furniture with other Knoll collections, including Jonathan Olivares' Olivares Chair and David Adjaye's Washington Collection, for which the palettes were originally developed.
