Generation by Knoll reflects our commitment
to sustainable design. Designed and
developed to meet Knoll Design for the

material used in assembly and minimizes

Product Standard, which requires a Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA), a rigorous,
independently audited process that evaluates
the environmental attributes of a product
throughout its total life.
