The launch of the Onward Collection signifies a dynamic shift for Holly Hunt, a brand that has been part of the Knoll universe since 2014. The collection, featuring a striking array of designs, highlights the brand’s commitment to quality while embracing a new, colorful direction.
A New Era in Design
Under the creative vision of Chris Eitel, who recently stepped into the role of Design Director, the Onward Collection introduces nine unique pieces that blend sculptural elements with modern aesthetics. Eitel, also the Executive Creative Director at Vladimir Kagan Design Group, draws from his extensive experience to craft a collection that feels both innovative and timeless.
Distinctive Features and Craftsmanship
The Onward Collection showcases a variety of textures and forms, moving away from the muted tones traditionally associated with Holly Hunt. The handcrafted Isley Sofa features a solid wood base paired with a sleek seat-and-back design, while the Selina Slipper Chair boasts soft curves and a lightweight silhouette. Each piece is designed to stand out, making a bold statement in any space.
Collaboration and Vision
Eitel collaborated closely with Jo Annah Kornak, SVP and Executive Creative Director, to ensure a cohesive vision for the collection. Kornak emphasized that Onward represents a pivotal moment for the brand, encapsulating its ambition and illuminating the path forward. “Each piece is designed to make a statement,” she noted, highlighting the collection’s ability to blend modernity with Holly Hunt’s established legacy.
Capturing the Spirit of Holly Hunt
As Eitel puts it, “Every iconic design brand reaches a moment when it must reinterpret its legacy to continue building it… onward.” The collection is described as playful and vibrant, signaling a new era for Holly Hunt that captures the essence of the brand through a contemporary lens. The Dent Cabinet, with its rhythmic pattern, and the lacquered Yoel Stool further exemplify this fresh approach.
