Wood Excellence
Wood Enriches the Workplace
Wood elevates today’s office environments with its warmth and beauty. Welcoming and inspiring, wood brings the outside in, infusing the collaborative workplace with a sense of well-being and balance.
Our long-time commitment to environmental practices assures that your office meets today’s sustainability standards. From the outset, we select a variety of FSC-certified species (FSC® C028824) –from walnut to teak– for their durability and intrinsic beauty. These quality veneers, with their unique patterns and colors, come together create furniture with refined elegance and scale.
Our research reveals that wood is one of the most beneficial materials for the workplace, capable of influencing workers psychologically and physiologically.
We Know Wood
Our Foundation is in Wood
For over 80 years, we’ve worked with wood, bringing its beauty and performance to the workplace. It all began with Hans Knoll when he arrived from Europe with, “one good wood chair,” launching a brand rooted in the Modernist tradition of beauty and craft.
Fit and Finish
Fit and Finish
Our specialists travel the world sourcing, inspecting and handpicking natural veneers that meet the Knoll standard, sourcing wood from responsibly managed forests.
Recognized as a leader in clean manufacturing technology, our sophisticated manufacturing processes encompass advanced finishing capacity. Our new Knoll Office finishing line, twice the length of a football field, delivers veneer finishes to exacting specifications for quality, consistency and integrity.
The Knoll Office core collection of 25 natural and Techwood veneers in open and closed pore options with high, medium or low gloss levels offers an exciting range of design options to reimagine the contemporary workplace.
