For 70 years, Knoll has
used modern design to connect
people with their work, their
lives and their world.
Since our founding in 1938, we have explored the power of modern design to
create compelling work and residential environments that inspire and endure.
Knoll represents:
+ A belief in modern design
+ 70 years of workplace experience
+ A comprehensive product portfolio
+ A commitment to customer service and manufacturing quality
+ A focus on environmental sustainability
+ A global perspective
W As an architect, interior space planner and furniture
designer, Florence Knoll made a commitment to
design excellence that resonates clearly within our
company today.
work. life. world.
A belief in
modern design
Our design philosophy combines artistic inventions with functional efficiency and
a commitment to environmental sustainability.
At Knoll, modern design has been our
guiding principle, and our passion has been
shared by customers worldwide.
Our founders, Hans and Florence Knoll,
embraced the creative genius at the
Cranbrook Academy of Art and the Bauhaus
School to create new types of furniture
for the workplace. Their approach, where
craftsmanship joined with technology through
the use of design, anchors our perspective
and shapes the values we endeavor to live
by today.
Our continuous attention to carefully
proportioned and detailed design is
shared by architects, interior designers
and executives who believe that the best
furniture complements interior architecture,
rather than competes with it.
We work with the world’s foremost
architects and designers of furniture for
the workplace and the home. Defining
collaborators include mid-century
Cranbrook masters Harry Bertoia and Eero
Saarinen, Florence Knoll, Warren Platner,
Frank Gehry, Marcel Breuer and Ludwig
Mies van der Rohe, the Bauhaus legend.
This design leadership defines not only
the past but the future of Knoll. Upcoming
collaborations include designs by Antenna
Design, Don Chadwick, Formway Design,
Jens & Laub and Joseph D’Urso.
W Florence Knoll’s groundbreaking designs for
corporate interiors continue to influence Knoll today
as we preserve our heritage and history — and move
forward with new ideas.

table desk and chairs by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and

urge for good design is
“ The
the same as the urge to go on
living. The assumption is that
somewhere, hidden, is a better
way of doing things.

Our classic furniture,
including pieces by
Harry Bertoia, Florence
Knoll, Warren Platner, Eero
Saarinen, Jens Risom and
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe,
is exhibited in major art
museums, with more than
40 pieces in the permanent
collection of The Museum
of Modern Art.

Making a difference:
Modernism at Risk
Less than a century after their
construction, Modernist masterpieces
— critical documents in the history
of architecture — are being routinely
demolished, disfigured or abandoned.
As part of our effort to contribute to the
communities where we do business, we
are the founding sponsor of the World
Monuments Fund (WMF) Modernism
at Risk program. WMF is a non-profit
organization dedicated to preserving
the world’s architectural heritage.
Modernism at Risk includes programs
dedicated to preservation and public
advocacy, with the intention of attracting
international resources regarding the
dangers faced by Modernist buildings
across the globe.
A cornerstone of Modernism at Risk
is the World Monuments Fund/Knoll
Modernism Prize, which will be awarded
biennially to a designer or design firm
whose work enhances the public’s
awareness of the seminal role that
Modernism plays in the built environment.
Harry Bertoia’s Diamond chairs, shown here at the
Modernist landmark A. Conger Goodyear House by
Edward Durell Stone, reflect the Cranbrook-trained
sculptor’s interest in space and form.
6 | Knoll
Modernist maverick Ludwig Mies van der Rohe had
a profound effect on the work of Florence Knoll, who
manufactured his classic Barcelona® Collection to his
exacting specifications. Architect Phillip Johnson
popularized the furniture at the mid-century Glass
House, his New Canaan, Connecticut, residence.

70 Years of
workplace experience
Florence Knoll developed the idea of the modern office and pioneered the
interior design profession.
Through research and experience
worldwide, we set standards in solving
practical workplace needs. From private
office furniture for individuals to the evolving
spectrum of open plan furniture that
supports an ultra-linked, connected
workforce, we offer a definitive resource
to address the dynamic activities of the
contemporary office.
S
In 1943, Florence Knoll established the Knoll
Planning Unit to create totally designed interiors,
from the initial plan to the final selection and
placement of furniture and accessories.
A customized AutoStrada™ office, complemented
by chairs by Don Chadwick, left, provides
signature structure for the open plan workplace.
Today, we are inspiring a new generation
with a dedication to the most innovative
and dynamic designs for corporations,
healthcare organizations, educational
institutions and governmental agencies.
Whether the goal is to encourage teamwork,
set ergonomic guidelines, plan for new
technologies or reinvent the office, we work
closely with customers to solve workplace
issues and accommodate the diversity of
its users.
Insights like these drive every element of
our product design:
+ The workplace is evolving from a single
destination to a holistic resource. Work is
no longer tied to a single physical space.
+ The individual desk is being utilized
less. Communal, collaborative spaces are
becoming the core of organizational
activities.
+ Organizations are becoming more attuned
to creating dynamic spaces that have
access to daylight.
+ Workforce mobility is influencing how real
estate assets are deployed.
A recent Knoll study revealed how the
contemporary office is transforming.

Defining the
Mobile Worker
A recent Knoll study, titled “The Voice of
Mobile Workers,” surveyed more than 500
respondents in an effort to understand how
organizations can successfully provide
for an increasingly mobile workforce.
The study found that mobile workers,
who are typically leaders within their
organizations, come into the office
most often for meetings and to access
in-house services. As a result, the
study suggests that workspaces:
+ Balance both individual task-focused
and collaborative work areas.
+ Allow for mobility of work and mobility
of the workspace with technology,
equipment and support tools.
+ Enable mobile workers to work where
and when they like, at any hour or day
of the year.
+ Have “plug and play” capability for a
variety of technologies.
In short, a healthy balance of unassigned
workstations, which can be a successful
strategy for reducing real estate costs and
collaborative space, will ultimately provide
an organization with the most satisfied
and productive mobile workforce.
Balancing individual, task-focused and collaborative
areas can optimize the work environment.

The spirit and
beauty of wood
Throughout our history, we have
been a leader in wood manufacturing
excellence, combining proportion and
scale with an appropriate use of
materials and finishes. Our attention
to detail and the quality of our work
have resulted in an extensive portfolio
of wood products that is unmatched
in design value.
Today, we manufacture flat-panel wood
components — including office system
panels, worksurfaces, drawer-fronts and
doors — that are veneered and finished
prior to their assembly. This systematic,
component-based approach to wood
production enables us to manufacture a
wider range of more flexible products for
creating total office environments.
We are proud of our documented history
of environmentally responsible practices.
Our wood office systems and furniture
products are manufactured using wood
from responsibly managed forests, and
we are recognized as a leader in clean
manufacturing technology.
Our manufacturing facilities are rich in people who are
skilled in the production and craft of wood furniture.
18 | Knoll
In 2007, we introduced a comprehensive wood policy
to ensure that illegally harvested wood is not used in our
products; our manufacturing facilities are Chain of Custody
certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC™).
