As head of the Knoll Planning unit, Florence Knoll always approached furniture design with the larger space in mind. Most important to her was how a piece fit into the greater design — the room, the floor, the building. Every element of a Knoll-planned space supported the overall design and complemented the existing architecture.
Consistent with all of her designs, Florence Knoll's Bench has a spare, geometric profile that reflects the rational design approach Florence learned from her mentor, Mies van der Rohe. The Florence Knoll bench is ideal in both formal and informal settings, including lobbies, reception areas, universities, museums, and private homes.
