Knoll is an American design company that develops, manufactures and distributes modern furniture, textiles and architectural elements for workplace and residential interiors. Founded in 1938 by Hans and Florence Knoll, the brand applies a Bauhaus‑influenced “total architecture” approach, in which furniture complements rather than competes with architectural space. Its portfolio spans seating, tables, systems and storage, accessories and KnollTextiles, alongside related brands such as KnollStudio, KnollExtra, Spinneybeck | FilzFelt, Edelman Leather, HOLLY HUNT, DatesWeiser, Muuto and Fully. Knoll products include classic and contemporary collections for living, dining, outdoor and home office settings, as well as comprehensive workplace platforms that support open plan, private office, meeting, training and ancillary spaces.
Knoll works closely with architects, interior designers and corporate clients across sectors, including energy, to plan and furnish high‑performance offices and headquarters. Through research publications and case studies, it develops workplace strategies around collaboration, knowledge transfer, flexibility, wellbeing and talent attraction, for example in energy companies seeking to modernise space and support distributed and field‑based workforces. Project profiles document Knoll furniture and planning tools being used to create collaborative, technology‑enabled environments for firms such as Pembina Pipeline Corporation and Secure Energy, using products like k. stand height‑adjustable tables, ReGeneration and Life work chairs, Reff Profiles casegoods, Dividends Horizon and Antenna systems, and KnollTextiles‑upholstered lounge pieces.
The company maintains manufacturing sites in the United States, Canada and Italy and sells through its own digital channels, Knoll showrooms and an international dealer network serving more than 50 countries. Knoll has received the National Design Award for Corporate and Institutional Achievement and is a founding sponsor of the World Monuments Fund Modernism at Risk program. It aligns with the U.S. and Canadian Green Building Councils, with products that can contribute to LEED, Living Building Challenge and WELL certifications, and operates ISO 14001‑certified plants with long‑running investments in energy efficiency and emissions reduction.
