Product Details

Product Description

The exquisite Florence Knoll Sofa for Knoll International boasts a stunning Sina Pearson fabric upholstery. Florence Knoll, a pioneering designer and entrepreneur, revolutionized the modern look of America's postwar corporate office by creating elegant yet functional furniture, artistic textiles, and a spacious, free-flowing workplace environment. Her mid-20th-century designs are the pinnacle of Modernism with their clean, practical forms that continue to remain influential, contemporary, and prevalent in offices, homes, public spaces, and museum collections worldwide. Ms. Knoll studied under several Modernist masters, including Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Eliel Saarinen, Walter Gropius, and Marcel Breuer, and had a hand in building Knoll Associates into the world's foremost high-end design firm under the guidance of her husband, Hans Knoll, with showrooms covering 35 locations. Her philosophy of "total design" emphasized open workspaces, informal furniture arrangements, dynamic colors, acoustical fabrics, and architectonically inspired futuristic interiors with a harmonious blend of art, utility, and architecture, introducing iconic designs such as the Tulip and Womb Chairs, and helping to commission and acquire classics like Isamu Noguchi's Cyclone Table and Lilly Reich's and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Chair. With a legacy that received recognition from The New York Times, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Gracie Mansion, and several other noteworthy institutions, including the National Medal of Arts awarded by President George W. Bush in 2003, Florence Knoll's lasting impact on design and architecture remains an extraordinary life's work.
