KnollStudio Collection
Rooted in tradition. For over 70 years, Knoll has used modern design to connect people with their
work, their lives and their world. Our founders, Hans and Florence Knoll, embraced the creative genius
at the Cranbrook Academy of Art and the Bauhaus School to create new types of modern furniture.
Their approach, where craftsmanship joined with technology through the use of design, anchors our
perspective and shapes the values we live by today.
Since our founding in 1938, we have been recognized as a design leader worldwide. We believe good
design is good business. Our commitment to innovation and modern design has yielded an extensive
portfolio of furniture, and our designs are exhibited in major art museums worldwide. Our landmark
collaborations with celebrated architects and designers, including Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Eero
Saarinen, Harry Bertoia, Marcel Breuer, Warren Platner and Frank Gehry, have led to some of the most
influential designs of the twentieth century.
In 1929, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed a chair with a single concept in mind. His Barcelona Chair,
created for the German Pavilion at the Barcelona World Exposition, stood for the synthesis of old and
new: it blended the comfort of home with the thrill of innovation. Nearly eight decades later, the chair is
still a classic. This point of view, nurtured by Florence Knoll, has become the trademark of our design
heritage. Today, it connects us with a new generation seeking workplaces that are comfortable for
everyday living, with new designs by Cini Boeri, Ross Lovegrove and Joseph Paul D’Urso.
KnollStudio® is an unparalleled resource for furniture for the workplace and the home with an unwavering
belief in the power and utility of modern design. Offering timeless, enduring designs for lounge and
reception areas, workplace environments, dining facilities, healthcare organizations and educational
institutions, we turn spaces of high visibility into places of comfort and distinction.
