Knoll at Stilobjekt in Lörrach
Barcelona Chair, Wassily Chair, Tulip Table
Knoll’s icons include three designs the company still makes today: the Barcelona Chair, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1929, Marcel Breuer’s Wassily Chair from 1925 and Eero Saarinen’s Tulip Table from 1956. They are joined by the Womb Chair, the Diamond Chair by Harry Bertoia and the delicate Platner Collection.
Knoll stands for the design classics of modernism. Many of them were designed by architects, and it shows: architectural clarity, tubular steel, leather and marble, carefully crafted. They look as assured in a private living room as in the foyer of a private bank.
Founded in New York in 1938 by Hans Knoll
