Knoll uses modern design to connect people to their work, their lives, their world. Since 1938, Knoll has been recognized internationally for creating workplace and residential furnishings that inspire, evolve, and endure. Today, our commitment to understanding of the workplace and dedication to sustainable design have yielded a unique portfolio of products that respond and adapt to changing needs.
For 75 years Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy that modern furniture should complement architectural space, not compete with it. At Knoll, modern design has been our guiding principle, and our passion has been shared by customers and design professionals worldwide.
Our founders, Hans and Florence Knoll, embraced the creative genius at the Bauhaus School and the Cranbrook Academy of Art to create new types of furniture and environments. Their approach, where craftsmanship joined with technology through the use of design, anchors our perspective and shapes the values we endeavor to live by today.
75 years of landmark collaborations, with pioneering modernists to bold contemporary designers, define not only the past as with Eero Saarinen or Isamu Noguchi, but also the future of Knoll through active, recent, and future partnerships with Antenna Design, Jehs & Laub and David Adjaye.
