Knoll (previously Knoll Inc.; now a subsidiary brand of MillerKnoll, Inc.) is an American company that manufactures office systems, seating, storage systems, tables, desks, textiles, and accessories for the home, office, and higher education. The company is the licensed manufacturer of furniture designed by architects and designers such as Harry Bertoia, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, Florence Knoll, Frank Gehry, Charles Gwathmey, Maya Lin, Marcel Breuer, Eero Saarinen, and Lella and Massimo Vignelli, under the company’s KnollStudio division. Over 40 Knoll designs can be found in the permanent design collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The company was founded in 1938 in New York by Hans Knoll. Production facilities were moved to Pennsylvania in 1950, and after his death in 1955 his wife, Florence Knoll, took over as head of the company. Their manufacturing sites in East Greenville, Grand Rapids, Muskegon, and Toronto are all still working, and in the 1970s they acquired facilities in Foligno and Graffignana in Italy as well. In 2011 Knoll received the National Design Award for Corporate and Institutional Achievement from the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum. In 2021 Knoll was acquired by Herman Miller for nearly $2 billion, and rebranded as MillerKnoll. They continue to produce innovative designs and many of their prior works are in museums around the world, still influencing generations of new designers. Their most famous model, the collapsible, easily-transported “butterfly chair,” is one of the most imitated designs in the world, and was the subject of a landmark copyright infringement case in 1950 that defined the direction and processes of many design houses for decades afterward.
Condition
Stains to the cushions and scuffs to the metal. Commensurate with use and age.
