Designed for Walter Knoll by Austrian designers EOOS, the Bao armchair swivels to show off its melding of leather and fabric in a curved form that its creators equate to the tailored look of a soft, leather ball. The chair takes its name from the Mandarin term for holding or embracing, and it measures 27.9 inches tall and 32.2 inches wide. Walter Knoll, +49.0.70.32.208.0; www.walterknoll.de.
