Knoll Furniture

American

As a company that produced many of the most famous and iconic furniture designs of the 20th century, Knoll was a chief influence in the rise of modern design in the United States. Led by Florence Knoll, the firm would draw stellar talents such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Eero Saarinen into its compass. Their work would help change the face of the American home and office.

The company was formed in 1938 by the German immigrant Hans Knoll. He first worked with his fellow ex-pat, the Danish designer Jens Risom, who created furniture with flowing lines made of wood. While Risom served in World War II, in 1943 Knoll met his future wife, Florence Schust. She had studied and worked with eminent emigré leaders of the Bauhaus, including Mies, Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer. She won Knoll over with Bauhaus notions of industrial arts, and an aesthetic that featured flat and tubular metal frames and angular forms. When Hans died in a car crash in 1955, Florence Knoll was appointed head of the company. It was as much through her holistic approach to design — a core division of the firm was dedicated to planning office systems — as Knoll's mid-century modern furnishings themselves that she brought about the sleek and efficient transformation of the American workplace.

Today, classic Knoll furnishings remain staples of modern design collections and decor. A history of modern design is written in pieces such as the elegant Barcelona chaircreated by Mies and Lilly Reich — Saarinen’s pedestal Tulip chair, Breuer’s tubular steel Wassily lounge chair and the grid-patterned Diamond chair by Harry Bertoia.

As you can see from the collection of these designs and other vintage Knoll dining chairs, sofas and tables on 1stDibs, this manufacturer's offerings have become timeless emblems of the progressive spirit and sleek sophistication of the best of modernism.

Pierre Jeanneret Scissor Lounge Chairs, Knoll, 1965, Original Cushions Included

Pierre Jeanneret Scissor Lounge Chairs, Knoll, 1965, Original Cushions Included

By Knoll, Pierre Jeanneret

Located in Culver City, CA

One look at these chairs and you'll be OBSESSED. These original 1960s Model 92 Pierre Jeanneret scissor chairs are a lot like George Clooney ~ they're both hot in their 60s and somehow have managed to look better with age than the rest of the world. Pierre Jeanneret was Le Corbusier's cousin and right-hand man for two decades, doing a wild amount of the actual genius-level design work while Corbusier got the magazine covers. (You probably know him from Chandigarh, the Indian city he basically single-handedly furnished, teak chairs, cane seats, the works.) But this chair actually predates all of that. Back in 1948, while Hans and Florence Knoll were touring Europe scouting new design talent, they came across this scissor base chair, a design that was entirely Jeanneret's own. They were so taken with it they licensed it on the spot and brought it to America as the Model 92 Scissors Chair. Knoll made this chair from 1948 to 1966. That's it. Eighteen years, then done forever. This particular pair is from right near the very end of that run, circa 1965 -- which we know because of the Scovill zipper on the original cushions, a little hardware detail Knoll (and Herman Miller, and Thayer Coggin) used from the mid-60s through the 70s. It's basically a built-in birth certificate. So not only are these legit Jeanneret-for-Knoll chairs, they're some of the last ones that ever rolled off the line before this design got retired. Incredibly rare, even by rare-chair standards. What's actually going on with these chairs: We had the birch wooden frames professionally refinished but left the aluminum hardware completely alone; that soft worn patina is six decades in the making and we weren't about to buff out the only proof these chairs have actually lived a life. The original webbed straps are still on there too, original, unreplaced, with this gorgeous gentle fade that you genuinely cannot fake. And here's the fun part ~~ you're getting TWO sets of cushions. The originals are this incredible avocado, tan, and forest green stripe that is so 1965 it should come with its own rotary phone and a pack of Pall Malls. They're still totally usable (the foam has gotten a little more dense over 60 years, because foam isn't immortal, but they're not falling apart, they're just... a little more firm). If you're a purist, these are indeed your grail. That said, maybe avocado/tan/forest green isn't your design combo, and we totally get that. So we had a second set of cushions custom-made to spec in a soft oatmeal nubby cotton that'll effortlessly flex into any color scheme. The original cushions have the same kind of webbing / straps that fold over the frame and button down to secure them to the frames of the chair (so they don't slide around). We carefully, expertly removed them from the original cushions and installed them on the new oatmeal colored cushions. Should you want full 1965 energy instead, we're happy to move them back to the originals. We don't believe in scrubbing the character out of a piece just to make it "showroom ready." These chairs have a zipper that tells you their birthday, a patina that tells you they were used, and straps that tell you they were loved. We fixed what needed fixing and left the rest exactly as time intended. This is the chair that Hans and Florence stopped for in the middle of a road trip, and almost 80 years later it'll do the same thing to anyone who walks into your living room. We've currently got ours in the gallery alongside a Vladimir Kagan serpentine sofa, a Gabriella Crespi coffee table...

Set of 4 Frank Gehry for Knoll "Hat Trick" Bentwood Dining Chairs, Smoked Gray

Set of 4 Frank Gehry for Knoll "Hat Trick" Bentwood Dining Chairs, Smoked Gray

By Knoll, Frank Gehry

Located in San Diego, CA

Designed by Frank Gehry for Knoll and produced in the United States in 1997, this exceptional set of four "Hat Trick" dining chairs represents one of the most important furniture designs of the late twentieth century. Part of the celebrated Gehry Collection, these sculptural chairs demonstrate the designer's groundbreaking exploration of bent laminated wood, transforming a humble material into a sophisticated work of functional art. The design is composed of gracefully curving maple ribbons that flow continuously from the legs through the seat and into the dramatic open backrest. The resulting form appears almost woven, creating a striking interplay of positive and negative space while maintaining exceptional strength and stability. Gehry's innovative approach challenged traditional assumptions about furniture construction, producing a chair that is at once architectural, sculptural, and remarkably comfortable. This set retains an uncommon smoked gray maple finish that beautifully accentuates the layered bentwood construction and fluid contours of the design. The finish highlights the natural grain of the maple veneers while lending the chairs a refined contemporary presence. Original production stamps, factory markings, and 1997 manufacturing dates remain present to the undersides, further confirming their authenticity and early production status. The Hat Trick chair is among the most recognizable and collectible designs from the Gehry Collection and is represented in important public and private collections worldwide. Equally suited for use as dining, conference, or accent seating, these chairs function as both practical furnishings and sculptural design statements. A rare opportunity to acquire a matching set of four early production Frank Gehry for Knoll Hat Trick...

    Real furniture is so expensive for a few reasons. For one thing, sourcing fine materials, such as solid wood, marble and natural fiber fabrics like cotton and linen, is typically more costly than acquiring human-made materials like engineered wood, resins and synthetic upholstery fabrics. Also, high-quality furniture is often at least partially handcrafted, so it takes longer to produce and creates higher labor costs. In addition, there is often a great demand for fine furniture and a limited supply, which increases prices. Find a wide range of furniture on 1stDibs.

The style emerged primarily in the years following World War II through creators who believed that good design was an essential part of good living. Mid-century modern designers combined natural and human-made materials, such as teak, rosewood and oak woods as well as steel, fiberglass and molded plywood. Some well-known mid-century modern designers include Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Milo Baughman, Florence Knoll, Harry Bertoia, Isamu Noguchi and George Nelson.

    When modern furniture is made to look old, it is often called distressing or weathering. The process can involve sanding, painting and creating blemishes and marks in the materials to impart an aged appearance. In some cases, distressed furniture gets its look from the use of reclaimed materials, such as wood, metal, stone and other items that were previously used as construction materials in structures and old furniture. Distressed furniture differs from reproduction furniture, which refers to contemporary furnishings patterned after antique and vintage designs. Reproduction furniture may be distressed in some cases, but often it looks brand new when sold. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of furniture.

    The history of the Knoll sofa began in 1954. The sofa was made during American designer and entrepreneur Florence Knoll’s direction of the Knoll Planning Unit, the company's pioneering "design consultant service" that would define the look of the postwar workplace.

    What Florence Knoll called the Womb chair after it was created is unknown. However, its creator Eero Saarinen stated that Knoll inspired him to make the piece by asking him to design the most comfortable chair ever, saying specifically that she wanted something that felt like "a basket full of pillows." Presented with the challenge, Saarinen went primal. What, the designer figured, better signifies the very essence of comfort than the womb? "It was designed on the theory that a great number of people have never really felt comfortable and secure since they left the womb,” the designer said of his chair. Find a selection of vintage Womb chairs on 1stDibs.
