The Humble Florence Knoll
Florence Knoll Style Lounge Chair
During the 20th century, interior design was taking a new direction and breaking free of the previously stagnant norms. Furniture innovations especially were emerging and flourishing. It was an exciting time for everyone who was ready to welcome this fresh change brought on by the iconic designers of the time like Eero Saarinen and Harry Bertoia and Florence Knoll.
Always one to maintain a level-head though, Florence Knoll took a step back to view the bigger picture. She could see there would be a need for furniture specifically designed to offset her colleagues’ organically-shaped and curved furniture designs. She took it upon herself to design what she would later describe as the “the fill-in piece no one else wants to do.” Perhaps she might have given herself more credit if Knoll knew her designs would become ageless modern classics.
Our Florence Knoll Lounge Chair Reproduction honors the same dimensions as the original model. We have improved upon it by using a higher quality of materials that have become available in the years since the original design. You can read all about these improvements in our Comparison Guide.
