Knoll Studio “Florence Knoll Relax” Sofa & 2 Armchair Suite in “Volo” Leather

About the Item

Hello Friends, and welcome to another unmissable offering from Lord Browns Furniture, the UK’s premier resource for fine Sofas and Chairs. On offer on this occasion is a rare, original “Florence Knoll” suite of seating, consisting of a 3-Seat Relaxed-Sofa and 2 Lounge Relaxed-Chairs from the world renown furniture house of Knoll Studio, dressed in their sublime Knoll “Volo” Leather in “Parchment”, and with Polished Chrome framework. As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in this Florence Knoll-designed masterpiece, Knoll Studio pieces are the epitome of contemporary furniture design, are of peerless quality, and exhibit detailing and execution of an unrivalled standard. In a world of temporary pleasures, Knoll Studio create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever, and there can be few more-beautiful examples of this timeless icon of design than this. This suite is in superb, beautifully-maintained condition, reflecting the regular, residential employment it has seen in the past, and is entirely free from fault, flaw or damage. Its fine order reflects the TLC and remarkably considerate-use afforded it in the past but, as you should realistically expect from a leather of this nature and colour, there are a small number of light, minor superficial-blemishes to be found across the the seat, arm and back, but certainly nothing that catches the eye overly, or compromises the beauty of this stunning suite one jot. Please view the images provided closely to confirm its incredible condition and appearance. Handsome in the extreme, and benefitting from Knoll’s premium leather option which only serves to increase it beauty, personality and practicality. The dimensions of the sofa is H-80cm, W-230cm and D-88cm, and with the Lounge Chairs sharing these measurements except for being 81cm wide, and the breathtaking seating position this iconic modern-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously upholstered composite-filled back and seat cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms. Costing close-to £21,000 when new, it represents spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt that it will serve and delight it’s new owner for many years to come. Delivery of this suite to most UK mainland addresses will cost £210, and can be organised on behalf of the winning bidder upon request using one of our hand-picked panel of specialist, fully-insured independent furniture couriers. Should I be able to help you further, feel free to call or message me. For important payment, shipping, returns, cleaning and contact information, please read the appropriate information provided. Warm regards, Daniel.

  • Pristine Florence Knoll Sofa for Knoll International
    By Florence Knoll, Knoll
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Pristine Florence Knoll sofa for Knoll International. Upholstered in gorgeous Sina Pearson fabric. Florence Knoll was a pioneering designer and entrepreneur who created the modern look and feel of America’s postwar corporate office with sleek furniture, artistic textiles and an uncluttered, free-flowing workplace environment. To connoisseurs of Modernism, the mid-20th century designs of Florence Knoll, were — and still are — the essence of the genre’s clean, functional forms. Transcending design fads, they are still influential, still contemporary, still common in offices, homes and public spaces, still found in dealers’ showrooms and represented in museum collections. Ms. Knoll learned her art at the side of Modernist masters. She was a protégé of the German-American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Eliel Saarinen, the Finnish architect and teacher and the father of the architect Eero Saarinen. And she worked with the renowned Bauhaus architects Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer. Throughout her career, influenced by the German Bauhaus school of design, she promoted the Modernist merger of architecture, art and utility in her furnishings and interiors, especially — although not exclusively — for offices. In the 1940s, she married and became a business partner of the German-born furniture maker Hans Knoll, and over 20 years she was instrumental in building Knoll Associates into the largest and most prestigious high-end design firm of its kind, with 35 showrooms in the United States and around the world. While her husband handled business affairs, Ms. Knoll was the design force of Knoll Associates. It grew to become the leading innovator of modern interiors and furnishings in the 1950s and ’60s, transforming the CBS, Seagram and Look magazine headquarters in Manhattan, the H. J. Heinz headquarters in Pittsburgh and properties across the United States, Europe, Asia and South America, including American embassies. Her “total design” favored open work spaces over private offices, and furniture grouped for informal discussions. It integrated lighting, vibrant colors, acoustical fabrics, chairs molded like tulip petals, sofas and desks with chrome legs...
