Hey everyone! I never thought I’d rave about a chair, but here we are. Meet my Walter Knoll Kyo Lounge Armchair- the most unassuming yet elegant addition to my living space that’s completely transformed how I live, work, and unwind at home. I thrifted this chair from an online platform and the seller was selling it for around 10% of the original price, so I'm well pleased! It's super plush, comfortable and stylish.
A bit about Walter Knoll- as one of the world's best German-based designer furniture brands, Walter Knoll is known for their quality and timeless pieces. Founded in 1865, their designs are featured in outstanding architectural projects around the world. If you're a design addict like me you'd have come across the brand in many high-end retail shops, or malls like Lane Crawford.
First off, let’s talk about space. If you live in a small flat, you know every square foot counts. The Kyo is compact without compromising comfort. Its low, sculpted frame fits effortlessly into tight corners, and the curved arms add just enough character without overwhelming the room. It doesn’t scream for attention- but it definitely turns heads.
It’s also the kind of chair that grows on you. At first glance, it’s minimalist. But sit in it once and you’ll understand why Walter Knoll is legendary in the design world. The Kyo’s craftsmanship is unreal- that mix of sleek Italian design and American practicality. It's structured but soft, supportive but laidback. I’ve curled up with a book, taken Zoom calls, and even accidentally napped in it (don’t judge).
Finally let's talk price- I sent an enquiry to a known furniture shop Miliashop, and they quoted me a price of €3300 VAT excluded so is this worth it or not? You be the judge. I think it's a lovely designer piece for anyone's home, if you have the aesthetics for it.
If you’re hunting for furniture that’s stylish and space-smart, especially for small apartments or open-plan layouts in Hong Kong, this one’s a winner. It brings that clean, curated aesthetic without the bulk. And honestly? It just makes me feel like I have my life together.
Highly recommend 10/10 would lounge again.
