Florence
Knoll

Florence Knoll (1917–2019) was an American architect and designer who transformed modern office interiors through her “total design” approach. As a key figure at Knoll Associates, she collaborated with architects like Mies van der Rohe and Eero Saarinen, integrating architecture, furniture, and textiles. Her designs, including the Knoll Planning Unit, revolutionized corporate spaces with modular layouts and minimalist aesthetics. Knoll’s influence extended beyond furniture to shaping work environments that balanced function and elegance. Awarded the National Medal of Arts, she redefined workplace design, leaving a lasting legacy in mid-century modernism and contemporary office architecture.
