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.

Questions About Knoll Furniture
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    Fifty-year-old furniture is called vintage furniture. The term vintage applies to furnishings that are 20 to 99 years old.

    The best-known 1950s furniture style is called mid-century modern. Organically shaped, clean-lined and elegantly simple are three phrases that describe vintage mid-century modern furniture. 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. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of mid-century modern furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
    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.
