Knoll International • Florence • Knoll Collection sofa 3-seater
As head of Knoll's planning department, Florence Knoll always approached furniture design with a view to the larger space. What mattered most to her was how a piece of furniture fitted into the overall design – the room, the floor, the building. Every element of a room planned by Knoll supported the overall design and complemented the existing architecture. Never prepared to compromise, Florence 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 several of Knoll's most iconic pieces – all plain, but by no means simple.
While skyscrapers rose across America in the post-war period, Florence Knoll saw it as her task to carry the language and the reasoning of modern architecture into the interior of the corporate office. Her designs were therefore built on an architectural foundation rather than on sculpture, unlike those of Saarinen and Bertoia. She pared back the rhythm and the detail of modern architecture while making it more human through colour and texture. Her lounge collection, designed in 1954, is a perfect example of her restrained, geometric approach to furniture, clearly derived from her preferred mentor, Mies van der Rohe.
