Saarinen Conference Chair

Good furniture design transcends time and borders. After emigrating from Stuttgart to New York in 1938, Walter Knoll's eldest son opened the "Hans Knoll Furniture Company", initially to sell his father's products. In America, Hans Knoll met the architects of modernism, was inspired to create something new and - thanks mainly to his wife Florence - became more internationally oriented. With the knowledge of the Bauhaus and the masterful craftsmanship of his own family, his company realized groundbreaking furniture designs by the most influential architects and furniture designers such as Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, Eero Saarinen and many more.
