Knoll supplied 12 tables and 48 chairs designed by Warren Planer to the Bond film Quantum of Solace for use in final restaurant scene – and no they were not all blown up – A few Knoll dealers still have a few of the tables and chairs from the film set available to buy. The furniture pieces are supplied with a letter authenticating their use in the film.
According to Knoll, it is a task chair meant for “collaborations†and fluid work environments. However, if you sit in your desk typing all day, I hardly think this chair will do you any good. Why? The philosophy behind the chair is that we actually spend more time moving in our chair than sitting in it – this should be true, we should be moving!

Named for his love of hockey and influenced by the apple crates he had played on as a child, Frank Gehry designed the Cross Check chair with ribbon like interlaced strips of maple.
