This Florence Knoll Credenza was bought by the first owner in 1973! In a beautiful authentic walnut version with Arabescato marble.

We had the marble completely polished again, so the marble shines again and the cabinet is in top condition.

Florence was born in 1917, 12 years later she became an orphan.
She was on her own and went to study hard.

Her skills were soon discovered by none other than Mies van der Rohe and Saarinen.

By the age of 19 she was already working with the greatest architects such as Charles Eames, Le Corbusier, Marcel Breuer, etc.

When she was 26 she started working for the then young company of Hans Knoll.
It was Hans Knoll who asked her to design an office for former minister Henry L. Stimson.
In 1946, Florence and Hans married and became the driving forces behind Knoll Associates, Inc.

In 1955 her husband Hans Knoll died with his Porsche during a business trip in Cuba.

And at age 38, Florence Knoll became the head of Knoll Associates, Inc. She started looking for designers to create unique furniture.

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.

TOP PIECE!
