Connex Signature | Edition Stone Grey: a coherent chair design

Inspired by the rocks and mountains of Lake Constance, the new Connex Signature | Edition Stone Grey appears understated and elegant at first glance. But the real innovation of this new product can be found in the detail: the colour Stone Grey is used across all materials, resulting in a harmonious, cleverly coordinated overall look.

The model features a Stone Grey base and a matching backrest bar that was developed specifically for the Signature Edition. A new textile trim visually lengthens the back and connects it to the seat to form a coherent, elegant silhouette. The new Melange mesh is woven from coordinating yarns that mirror the light reflections within the colour, doing justice to the product’s subtle play of light and shade. The iconic backrest design retains its graphic, architecture‑inspired character in this new shade of grey – a nod to Buckminster Fuller.

A focus on colour design

The new Stone Grey shade is a mid‑grey tone defined by its understated, clean aesthetic. “Stone Grey is a colour that doesn’t fade into the background – it makes a clear statement,” explains Melanie Hövermann from Klöber’s marketing team. “It underscores the design language of the newly developed Connex Signature | Edition Stone Grey without being intrusive. It’s a grey that blends timelessly into the architecture whilst remaining distinctive. Achieving a level of colour and material harmony that results in a monochrome effect is the pinnacle of colour and material design. And that’s something we’ve really got right with the Connex Signature | Edition Stone Grey.”

With the new Connex Signature | Edition Stone Grey, Klöber introduces a swivel chair in a colour that goes with everything. Alongside the recently launched Connex Signature | Edition Simply Taupe, a clear design theme instantly emerges. They work well independently or as a pair. Side by side or in combination they complement each other without being over the top. A lasting classic – like Klöber itself.

Clearly sustainable

Sustainability is a top priority for the Connex Signature | Edition Stone Grey: the Melange mesh used for the chair generates zero offcuts during manufacture, which means zero waste. The seat cover for this chair is made of 78% recycled polyester, while the backrest fabric is 65% recycled polyester. Both are enhanced by bouclé and monofil fibres for comfort and stability. The backrest bar and base also follow a sustainable approach: they are made out of 100% recycled aluminium.
