Inspired by the bauhaus - founded in 1919 by walter gropius - walter knoll decided to bet heavily on modernism. He launched his eponymous german furniture maker in 1925 and the business has been going strong ever since. Most design aficionados are familiar with knoll, the manufacturer of furniture by eero saarinen, harry bertoia, marcel breuer, ludwig mies van der rohe and other modernist giants. It was founded in 1941 by hans knoll and, after his death, was led by his wife, florence knoll, the founder of post-war american office interiors. In recent years, the company has added collections from the likes of maya lin, rem koolhaas, frank gehry and david adjaye and encouraged customers to do what some of them have always done: use knoll's "office furniture" in their homes.
