Founded in 1938, Knoll is rooted in the Bauhaus philosophy of “total architecture”, the belief that furniture, interiors and architecture should work in harmony. This approach continues to shape the brand’s collection, bringing together considered forms, materials and finishes across residential, workplace and hospitality settings.

Knoll’s story was shaped by the partnership of Florence and Hans Knoll, whose shared vision helped redefine modern interiors. Florence brought together an influential network of architects and designers, including Eero Saarinen and Harry Bertoia, while collaborations with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer introduced now-iconic designs to the collection.

This legacy of collaboration continues through work with leading designers, including Piero Lissoni, Marc Newson and Antonio Citterio. Their designs sit alongside modernist classics in a collection that continues to evolve while remaining grounded in Knoll’s architectural approach to design.

Balancing architectural clarity with material innovation and considered functionality, Knoll creates original furniture that connects people and spaces. From residential interiors to contemporary workplaces, its designs continue to shape the way we live and work.
