Designer introduction:

 
Florence Knoll - later Knoll Bassett - is an American architect and furniture designer who studied under Mies van der Rohe and Eliel Saarinen. She graduated from the Kingswood School before studying at the famous Cranbrook Academy of Art (both institutions are located on the same campus in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan).

Florence Knoll felt architects should contribute their design ability to furniture as well. Some of these furniture designs would become design icons of the 20th century and have remained in the Knoll line for decades due to their timeless design. When Hans Knoll died in 1955, Florence Knoll took over operation of the company.
Florence Knoll herself designed chairs, sofas, tables and casegoods during the 1950’s, many of which remain in the Knoll line to this day. In 1958 she married Harry Hood Bassett. Her American interpretation of minimalist, rationalist design theories is clearly evident in Knoll’s storage pieces. She mixed woods and metals to great effect and added laminates as they became popular. Dressers and desks are all square in design but never lack for quality. Hanging cabinets have glass shelves, slidin
