About the Item

NEW Sale Price!!! 1960s Florence Knoll Credenza. This is an authentic mid-century modern classic discounted to move. Early production Credenza with walnut exterior and oak interior designed by Florence Knoll for Knoll & Associates. Refined, sophisticated, functional and in original condition. No modifications such as holes for locks, etc. Two credenzas available in Brooklyn, NY ready for pick-up (11201). Shipping is tricky given weight. "When Florence Knoll revolutionized private office design by replacing the executive desk with a table, she need a place for all the filing that had traditionally lived in desk drawers. Her solution, executed in typical Florence Knoll elegance, was the low credenza. The iconic design works as well in the dining room as it does in the office." ** Florence Marguerite Knoll Bassett (née Schust; May 24, 1917 – January 25, 2019) was an American architect, interior designer, furniture designer, and entrepreneur who has been credited with revolutionizing office design and bringing modernist design to office interiors. The Florence Knoll Collection has been credited with revolutionizing office design. The "Knoll Look" is/was marked by rationalized space plans, modern furniture, sleek geometries, and an integration of structure, color, and texture. In 1957, Architectural Forum said "the Knoll interior is as much a symbol of modem architecture as Tiffany glass was a symbol of the architecture of Art Nouveau." The NY Times critic, Paul Goldberger, said she “probably did more than any other single figure to create the modern, sleek, postwar American office, introducing contemporary furniture and a sense of open planning into the work environment.” The Credenza remains one of the most sought-after of her pieces. This one is unblemished maintaining the original leather pulls and no after-market locks (as some have).
