Recently saw three of these for sale on Craigslist for about $120 for a set of three. Then I saw two at the thrift store and got them both for $6.

Just what I need - more chairs 😛 I can't pass up Knoll, even the ugly stuff.

I've seen these described as "sled chairs", "shell chairs" even though they're quite unlike the classic shell chair. They ~do~ seem like a 90's officespace mutation of the shell chair.

They weigh a lot! Maybe 50 lbs. They are imprinted Knoll on the bottom, and have a Knoll materials tag with a December 1994 date.

Does anyone know what this model is officially known as?

Too funny.
Reminds me of the stainless-steel utensils made by "Inox" and "Rostfrei"...
"117-75" isn't a model number; it's a reference to the 1975 version of the California Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation's Technical Bulletin 117, which specifies the flame-retardant properties of upholstery foam. TB117 has been updated a couple times since 1975; the latest revision is from 2000.

Yeah, but
please don't edit a post after it's been replied to.
Removing every instance of "117-75" from your post and its title has made my reply look sort of insane.

You're worried about that?
This is the World Wide Web, man!
We're ALL bozos on this bus.
Besides, you're among friends here.
