Florence Knoll Sofa in Volo Leather
Designed by Florence Knoll Bassett for Knoll®
Florence Knoll Bassett took a holistic view of interior space planning. As director of the Knoll Planning Unit in the 1950s, her "total design" approach embraced everything about a space – including the furniture. She modestly referred to her furniture designs as the "meat and potatoes" of an interior, yet to this day they hold the same iconic American appeal as that most basic and functional of meals. Her Lounge Collection (1954) has the simple, architectural lines and unparalleled construction of all modern classics. This Sofa is manufactured by Knoll® according to the original and exacting specifications of the designer.
Lounge Collection includes the Lounge Chair, Two-Seater Sofa and Sofa.
Built to last a lifetime with a solid wood inner frame, polished chrome outer frame, no-sag seat suspension and Spinneybeck® leather.
KnollStudio logo and Florence Knoll's signature are stamped into base of frame.

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....
