Knoll
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 chair — created 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.

- Pair of Modern Rectangular Table Lamps with Abstract Decoration and Offset FeetLocated in Ft. Lauderdale, FLThese artful table lamps feature a main rectangular body of heavy wood with black lacquered background and abstract ivory colored fragments. Each lamp is slightly different reflecting the artist behind the brushstrokes. A base of black lacquered steel rests on offset Japanese inspired feet. The flat top of the main body is similarly painted being the base for a light arm column carrying two sockets and the lampshade pole. Black lacquered rectangular finials complete the composition. The lamps are sold without the shades for ease of shipping. I have chosen traditional empire shape shades letting the straight and the circular lines compliment each other, but rectangular shades may also be a good choice. The measurements below are for the lamps without shades and finials.Category
