Learn more about the brand

Knoll is an American company manufacturing office furniture and equipment.

Headquartered in East Greenville, Pennsylvania, it was founded in 1938 by Hans Knoll, a German-born entrepreneur. With his wife Florence, they created one of the most creative and prolific companies of the post-war era. The “Knoll style” was born: they imposed their vision of layout thanks to the “Planning Unit”, a unique service of its kind for the time, combining interior architecture, design, production, textiles, graphics. After Hans' death in 1955, Florence replaced her husband at the head of the company, leaving it in 1965.

Like Herman Miller, Knoll's importance in 20th century design was considerable. Knoll worked with renowned architects and designers such as Eero Saarinen, Isamu Noguchi, Frank Gehry and Ross Lovegrove.

Many pieces of furniture made by Knoll have become part of design history.
