RICHARD SCHULTZ | DESIGNER EN

Richard Schultz was born in 1926 in Lafayette, Indiana. He studied mechanical engineering and design at the Iowa State University and the Illinois Institute of Technology Design Department in Chicago. In 1951 he joined Knoll International and worked closely with the sculptor Harry Bertoia on the development and challenging production problems associated with the now classic Bertoia wire chair collection. This project led to a 18 month assignment in Europe initiating Bertoia production with Knoll Subsidiaries and Licensees. Upon returning, he rejoined the Knoll Design Development Group in East Greenville, Pennsylvania. Initial ideas for a petal table and a wire-framed chaise were expanded and extraordinary refined in the Leisure Collection introduced in 1967. The process of studied refinement is crucial to the Richard Schultz creative process. His technical ability, knowledge of materials and of manufacturing process always are at battle and in balance with his strong instincts and background as a sculptor of graceful forms. The Leisure Collection is distinguished therefore by a fine sculptured rectilinear quality that is complimented by near-weightless fabric and an inclusive sobriety of construction and carefully considered details.
