Spring Break Report: Brigham Young, University of Southern California, Washington University in St. Louis Student Groups Visit Knoll New York

This month, students from Brigham Young University (BYU), University of Southern California (USC) and Washington University in St. Louis visited the Knoll New York Showroom as part of their undergraduate design curricula. The students took a tour of the showroom, viewing contemporary and mid-century classic pieces for home and office by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia, Eero Saarinen, Formway Design, Antenna Design, David Adjaye and Rem Koolhaas. In conversations with leaders at Knoll, students had the opportunity to interrogate how Knoll approaches the future of design, and how major figures in its history helped shape the evolution of furniture design, architecture, interior design, graphic design and workplace planning.
