Ollo with Shell Back

Ollo with Shell Back is designed to stay on pace with the spontaneous style of today’s work – pivoting between people, locations and tasks without breaking stride.

The office is a place of constant, unpredictable motion, and Ollo with shell back provides easy, effortless support for you to seize the moments along the way. Communal by design, Ollo is a chair everyone can get comfortable in. Straightforward, streamlined performance ensures Ollo is always ready for you so that you can be ready for anything.

Balanced Back

Two complementary materials are fused together to create a back that supports you as you switch tasks and shift focus. The lower back is more structured, providing lumbar support and control, while the upper back flexes with your movements.

Active Pivot

The active pivot control delivers a smooth, effortless recline without any manual adjustments. The automatic, synchronous motion between the back and the seat dynamically responds to you, sliding the seat forward and up as you recline.

Glen Oliver Loew

Glen Oliver Loew graduated with a Diploma in Industrial-Design from the University of Wuppertal in 1985. He then moved to Milan, where he received a master’s degree in design from Domus Academy. He has since collaborated with Antonio Citterio, developing a large number of products for companies such as Ansorg, Flos, Hackman, Iittala, Kartell, Vitra and Vitrashop.

Since 2000 he is teaching as a Professor for Product Design at the Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg. After starting his own studio, Loew partnered with Knoll to develop a light task chair for the increasingly flexible and mobile work environment. The resulting design, Ollo, is an everywhere chair inspired by mid-century designs.
