Landed in the United States at the beginning of the ‘30s, Hans Knoll, a young German-born son of a furniture-maker in Stuttgart, proposed to import into the new continent the modern European design, contemporary heritage of the Bauhaus. Died prematurely, his work was continued by his wife, Florence Knoll, who succeeded in establishing lasting partnerships with some of the greatest exponents of the modernist movement. Few years later the Knoll Associates was founded. Today, Knoll is not only a company of re-selling historic furnishings of great artistic value, but continues to innovate by offering creations of the major international design brands both in the home area and in the office furnitures sector.Read more
Designed by
Lucia Mercer
Lucia Mercer is a designer specializing in the use of stone and granite. After studying landscape architecture at Cornell University and after spending a short time in the Soviet Union, she returned to the USA in 1979 and began working for Cold Spring Granite Quarry, near Pittsburgh. Her best-known creations are slightly later: in 1982 she designed a collection of three plastically sculptural coffee tables for Knoll, with pure and balanced geometries. On the border between furnishings and small sculptures, these tables were almost entirely handmade by herself, cutting the slabs and drawing an ellipse on them and then removing the excess stone with a hammer and a cleaver.
