Architect and designer Florence Knoll Bassett has had a profound influence on more than 50 years of buildings' interiors. As the director of the Knoll Planning Unit, Knoll Bassett revolutionized interior planning by implementing a "total design" approach that embraced everything about a space, including architecture, graphics and textiles. She brought the same sensibilities to designing furniture, illustrated by her iconic Three-Seater-Bench (1954) and other pieces. The Bench is manufactured by Knoll according to the original and exacting specifications of the designer. The KnollStudio logo and Florence Knoll's signature are stamped on the inside of one leg. Frames made in Italy, upholstered in U.S.A.
- Simple, architectural design suits residential or formal spaces, including lobbies, museums and reception areas.
- Exposed chrome-plated steel frame is topped with individually sewn squares of full-grain, semi-aniline Spinneybeck® Volo leather or corrected-grain, aniline-dyed Acqua leather.
- The KnollStudio logo and Florence Knoll's signature are stamped on the inside of one leg.

Architect and designer Florence Knoll Bassett (formerly Schust) has had a profound influence on more than 50 years of buildings' interiors. An early protégée of Eero Saarinen, whom she met while studying at the Kingswood School on the campus of the Cranbrook Academy of Art, "Shu" (the nickname by which she's popularly known) went on to study architecture at Cranbrook. From there, she earned degrees at the Architectural Association in London and the Armour Institute (Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago). While in Chicago, Shu studied with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for what she calls, "a very valuable year." She worked briefly in Boston for Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer, and while working in New York for Wallace K. Harrison, Shu met Hans Knoll who asked her to design an office for Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson. Additional jobs with Hans Knoll followed, and in 1946, Shu and Hans married and formed Knoll Associates, Inc. Read more >
