Richard Schultz remains best known for his collaboration with Harry Bertoia, who created the iconic steel wire seating collection at the time. A few years later, Florence Knoll expressly asked Schultz to create a collection of outdoor furniture resistant to the open air. Thus, was born the “Leisure Collection” now known as the “1966 Collection”, the first contemporary outdoor collection that immediately became a classic.

Richard Schultz: "In October 1962 I began working on an aluminum outdoor group. Florence Knoll moved to Florida and said, 'You have to make some decent outdoor furniture, something that is made out of materials that won’t rust and corrode.' That appealed to me, and I started working.
"I experimented with button connectors for the slings, padded slings and plastic beading around the tabletops. Ultimately I devised concealed connectors, which made the chairs more elegant.
