Wednesday, 20 August 2025 | 6-8:30pm
74/4D Huntley St, Alexandria NSW 2015
Celebrating the brand’s pioneering spirit, this event brings together a panel of leading Australian designers alongside a special international guest to examine the enduring relevance of Knoll’s design philosophy today.
At the heart of the discussion is Florence Knoll’s visionary concept of “Total Design,” a holistic approach that united architecture, interior planning, and furniture into a single, cohesive vision. The panel will consider how this legacy continues to inform contemporary design thinking, and how values of authenticity, sustainability, and innovation are shaping the future of the built environment.
