Mid-Century design at its finest. Knoll Design was founded in New York City by Hans Knoll in 1938. Hans, along with his partner and wife Florence, embraced the creative genius at the Bauhaus School and together they helped create a new type of furniture for the home and workplace. In part they defined the mid-century modern approach to design. The company still manufactures furniture for the home by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll , Frank Gehry, Maya Lin and Eero Saarinen, all under the company’s KnollStudio division. Over 40 Knoll designs can be found in the permanent design collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. 

Description: An in depth look at some of the greatest mid-century design. Illustrated throughout with B&W photographs. A rare and sought after design title. An early catalog with strong Bauhaus influence – chairs, tables, interiors, chests, cabinets, beds, textile, photographs of layouts plus measurements; blue/red/yellow colorations and silver flexible board covers. Rare and sought after!
