Florence Knoll Rectangular Coffee Table

Designed by Florence Knoll
It can be said that Florence Knoll helped to revolutionize interior space planning. Borrowing from minimalist and rationalist design theories, Knoll designed pieces that were simple in shape, high on style and exceptional in quality. The Florence Knoll Rectangular Coffee Table is a fine example of her body of work. This simple coffee table combines a metal frame with your choice from a wide array of top finishes to make quite the modern statement in your home.

The Design

Florence Knoll is considered by many to be a leader of 20th-century architecture and design. Studying architecture with Mies van der Rohe and working alongside of Marcel Breuer and Bauhaus founder, Walter Gropius--Knoll was primed for success. Forming Knoll Associates with her husband, Hans, Knoll headed up the Planning Unit at Knoll, creating what she referred to as "the fill-in pieces that no one else wants to do."

Like so many of her ground-breaking designs that became the gold standard for the industry, this 1954 piece has gone on to become a classic. Like many of Knoll's designs, the Florence Knoll Rectangular Coffee Table is reserved and cool, severe and angular--reflecting the objective perfectionism of the early 1960s. The KnollStudio® logo and Florence Knoll's signature are stamped on the inside of leg of every table.
