About the designer
Trained as an architect, Florence Knoll counted Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe among her many friends and trusted mentors. In 1941 she met Hans Knoll and the pair—armed with Florence’s design skills and Hans’ salesmanship—grew a budding company into an international arbiter of design and defined the standard for the modern interiors of post-war America.
