    Knoll Florence Collection Sofa Settee Table history

    Product story

    Prior to the pioneering approach of Florence Knoll and the Knoll Planning Unit, executive offices in America were nearly all planned the same way — a way that Florence Knoll found illogical.

    Seeking to create a space better suited to the executive’s primary function — communication — Florence reconsidered the layout from an architectural perspective. She replaced an imposing, diagonal desk with the more inviting table desk, placed parallel to the back wall. Storage was moved to behind the table in a low, matching credenza.

    To execute this new layout, Florence introduced the 2544 Credenza in 1961. The elegant design exuded executive quality, and clearly exhibited Mies van der Rohe’s impact on Florence’s approach to design.

    After demonstrating an early interest in architecture, Florence Schust was enrolled at the Kingswood School for Girls, adjacent to the Cranbrook Academy of Art. There she met Eilel Saarinen, and went on to study under some of the greatest 20th century architects, including Gropius, Breuer, and Mies van der Rohe.

    With Florence’s design skills and her husband Hans’ business acumen and salesmanship, the pair grew Knoll into an international arbiter of style and design. In creating the revolutionary Knoll Planning Unit, Florence Knoll defined the standard for the modern corporate interiors of post-war America.
