Knoll
Landed in the United States at the beginning of the ‘30s, Hans Knoll, a young German-born son of a furniture-maker in Stuttgart, proposed to import into the new continent the modern European design, contemporary heritage of the Bauhaus. Died prematurely, his work was continued by his wife, Florence Knoll, who succeeded in establishing lasting partnerships with some of the greatest exponents of the modernist movement. Few years later the Knoll Associates was founded. Today, Knoll is not only a company of re-selling historic furnishings of great artistic value, but continues to innovate by offering creations of the major international design brands both in the home area and in the office furnitures sector.Read more

Designed by

David Adjaye

David Adjaye
Sir David Adjaye (1966-) is an important British architect of Ghanaian origins. The son of a diplomat, he spent his childhood in Tanzania, Egypt, Yemen and Lebanon, before settling permanently in the United Kingdom. Here he has the opportunity to study in the best universities, including the Royal College of Art in London. His architecture, with a strong spectacular impact, is characterized by great attention to materials and the skillful use of light. Examples include award-winning projects such as the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC, the SKOLKOVO School of Management in Moscow or the Ruby City in San Antonio. His forays into the world of design are rarer, through appreciated collaborations with brands such as Knoll and Moroso. In 2021 he obtained the Royal Gold Medal, the most important recognition of British architecture, awarded by the Royal Institute of British Architects and approved directly by the Royal House.Read more
