For over 80 years, Knoll has been well aware of the importance of modern design in creating spaces that can inspire, evolve and last. This vision coupled with a commitment towards sustainable design brings to life captivating collections of chairs, tables, armchairs, sofas and other furniture proposals for the home and the office. Knoll's extensive catalog includes unforgettable pieces like the Womb, Tulip and Bertoia chairs, along with new trend-setting solutions.
Since 1938, Knoll has been devoted to the Bauhaus design vision: modern furniture should blend in with the existing architecture, not fight against it. This idea is what motivated Hans and Florence Knoll to launch the modern office concept. Over the years, the brand has teamed up with renowned international designers like Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Eero Saarinen, Warren Platner, Harry Bertoia, and Gae Aulenti.
The Knoll collections, including Barcelona, Bertoia, Pedestal and Platner are born from acclaimed designer collaborations with names such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia and Eero Saarinen.
With innovative, timeless and unique designs, Knoll chairs, sofas, armchairs, tables, furniture and accessories creatively integrate rather than compete with the spaces into which they are placed.

Both functional and aesthetically original Knoll chairs and armchairs include a number of recognised icons, still today viewed as masterpieces of design excellence. The famous Barcelona armchair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe epitomizes the industrial era embodying the Bauhaus philosophy “less is more” , whilst in its time the 1948 Womb chair by Eero Saarinen raised design standards, breaking with the accepted norms of the period. Other symbols of excellence include the Tulip chair and Bertoia Diamond, both classic elements in the brand’s history.
There is perfection in simplicity and Knoll tables undoubtedly represent this concept, with a series of iconic pieces which stand out for their contribution to the history of design. From the famous Saarinen Knoll table, known for its single leg structure, to the original collection of Florence Knoll tables, rational in their form as a true representation of the designer’s creative approach, and the elegance of the Platner table with its signature base and crafted top, Knoll tables remain ever relevant in today’s contemporary interiors.
Knoll design is guided by a principal of connection, bringing people and their environments together. The Bauhaus movement, with its attention to clean lines, simplicity of form and colour and the use of modern materials has been reflected throughout the history of Knoll. As the brand has evolved, it has taken its place as a reference point for authentic distinctive furniture with inspiring designs which evolve and emerge over time suited to a broad range of contexts from the home and office to contract spaces.

As a global manufacturer the company seeks to source materials from suppliers who share the brand’s long-term environmental vision, and its worldwide manufacturing facilities work towards a constant improvement in environmental performance alogside constant research into new materials and technologies.
