Ultimately it was the aluminum supplier that suggested this might work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final chair is composed of a die-cast aluminum body-contoured shell and extruded aluminum legs; plastic connections tie the pieces together and allow the chairs to stack neatly without scratching. The entire form is powder coated with a durable matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Olivares chair brings a refined, sculptural presence to indoor and outdoor environments alike. The gracefully contoured form is carefully shaped to offer maximum comfort and the die cast aluminum shell is available in a palette of bright, contemporary colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tab-subsection\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEASUREMENTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeight: 81.2 cm \/ 32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eWidth: 56.6 cm \/ 22.3 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eDepth: 53.8 cm \/ 21.2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eSeat Height: 44.4 cm \/ 17.5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tab-subsection\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIALS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eDie-Cast Aluminum with Integrated Leg Tenons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tab-subsection\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHELPFUL NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eOutdoor use: With proper preventative maintenance, the Olivares chair is appropriate for outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eShell is constructed of die-cast aluminum with outdoor powder coat paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eChairs stack 6 high on the floor and 10 high on optional dolly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eStacking bumper distributes the chair’s weight over a wide area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigner’s signature and the KnollStudio logo are located under the seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eNylon glides included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eGreenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-accordion__content\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tab-subsection\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/alteriors.ca\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jonathan-olivares.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin:0 30px 30px 0; max-width:300px;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJonathan Olivares\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngland, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJonathan Olivares was born in Boston in 1981 and graduated from Pratt Institute.

The quarterly art and culture magazine Kaleidoscope wrote of him: “Aesthetically, his works seldom resort to fanfare, privileging use-value and tenderness over showmanship. His slow-and-steady style, combined with his personal resolve, produces humble results worth looking out for.” In her review of A Taxonomy of Office Chairs, published in the International Herald Tribune, the design critic Alice Rawsthorn wrote: \"You'll never look at an office chair in quite the same way again.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"wp-button wp-button-medium wp-button-border wp-button-rounded tright\" href=\"https:\/\/grshop.com\/designers\/jonathan-olivares.html\"\u003eShop all designs by Jonathan Olivares\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-accordion__content\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnoll products incur a 7.5% shipping charge at checkout, with a minimum of $85 and maximum of $500.
