Knoll International • Florence • Knoll Collection sofa, 2-seater
As head of Knoll’s design department, Florence Knoll always approached furniture design with the whole room in view. For her, the most important thing was how a piece of furniture fitted into the overall design – the room, the floor, the building. Every element in a room designed by Knoll supported the overall design and complemented the existing architecture. Florence was never willing to compromise and often designed furniture when she "needed the piece for a commission and it was not available". And although she never regarded herself as a furniture designer, her pursuit of harmony in space and consistency in design led her to design some of Knoll’s most iconic pieces of furniture – all plain, but by no means simple.
While skyscrapers were shooting up across America in the post-war period, Florence Knoll saw her task as transferring the language and the principles of modern architecture to the interior of the office. Unlike Saarinen and Bertoia, her designs were therefore based not on sculpture but on architecture. She reduced the rhythm and the details of modern architecture and made them more human through colour and texture. Her lounge collection, which she designed in 1954, is a perfect example of her sober, geometric approach to furniture, clearly inspired by her preferred mentor Mies van der Rohe.
