Knoll Lounge Chair by Knoll
designed by Florence Knoll Florence Knoll, furniture designer extraordinaire, built the Knoll Lounge Chairs as lasting art,comfort, and furnishing objects. Her success can be measured in the huge number of Knoll Lounge Chairs sold, critical praise, and the countless designer who still draw inspiration from the collection. The Knoll Lounge Chair sits on exposed steel legs, can be upholstered in a variety of ways, and stands as the classical norm for all lounge chair designs. Florence Knoll worked with luminaries such as Eero Saarinen, Gropius, and Marcel Breuer before striking out on her own with her husband, Hans Knoll. She pioneered the idea of total design, which quickly became the industry standard. In 2002 she was awarded a well deserved and highly prestigious National Medal of Arts.
