Notes: Schultz (1926-2021) created this series of patio furniture at the request of Florence Knoll after she retired to the Florida coast and requested he design, "something that could withstand the elements". Then an employee of Knoll furniture, Schultz created this design, then dubbed "the leisure collection", and it went into production in 1966. Knoll continued to produce it until the 1980s. In the next decade, Schultz and his father secured the molds and production rights from Knoll and began producing the line themselves. The present suite is from that period. In 2012 Knoll bought the collection back and continues to produce it.
