Hans and Florence Knoll developed one of the most creative and prolific companies of the post-war era.The couple imposes their vision of development thanks to the Planning Unit, combining interior architecture, design, production, textiles and graphics.Together, they took Knoll internationally by collaborating with designers like Eero Saarinen, Harry Bertoia, Jens Risom and Isamu Noguchi.
The collaboration with Eero Saaarinen also allowed a Knoll classic to be created: the Saarinen table.This Knoll table is one of the cult pieces of furniture in the history of design.Timeless, copied but never equalled, it combines sobriety and elegance.We also speak of the Knoll style to designate the joyful modernist interior decoration, the company’s trademark.
