When Florence Knoll revolutionized private office design by replacing the typical executive office with a table, she needed a place for all the archives and storage that had traditionally lived in desk drawers.
Her solution, executed in typical Florence Knoll elegance, was the low credenza. "I did it because I needed the furniture for a job and it wasn't there, so I designed it." Perfectly proportioned and immaculately detailed, the design embodies Florence Knoll's adherence to the teachings of her favorite mentor, Mies van der Rohe.
Florence Knoll died on January 25, 2019.
She is regarded as one of the greatest architects and designers in history.
She made Knoll one of the largest furniture companies in the world.
