KnollStudio Outdoor Collection
Since our founding in 1938, Knoll has used modern design to develop furniture that remains relevant in
an ever changing world. From Harry Bertoia’s iconic mid-century wire seating collection to David Adjaye’s
contemporary Washington SkeletonTM Chair, our commitment to experimentation has yielded an extensive
portfolio of outdoor furniture. Utilizing the latest materials and manufacturing techniques, these designs move
easily between indoor and outdoor environments.
Florence Knoll recognized Richard Schultz, an early member of the Knoll product development team, for
his innovative design talents. Schultz developed the Petal Table Collection® to complement Harry Bertoia’s
Diamond Chair. Introduced in 1960, the tables can now be found in the permanent collection of The Museum
of Modern Art in New York. Subsequently, Florence Knoll challenged Schultz to create a distinctive outdoor
furniture collection. The result, the 1966 Collection®, offered not only the resiliency to withstand the outdoor
elements but also the versatility to inhabit an evolving modern architectural environment. Today, the 1966
Collection® is regarded as the first modern outdoor furniture collection and has been the category standard
ever since.
KnollStudio is an unparalleled resource for furniture for the workplace and the home with an unwavering
belief in the power and utility of modern design. Offering timeless, enduring designs for lounge and reception
areas, workplace environments, dining facilities, healthcare organizations and educational institutions, we turn
spaces of high visibility into places of comfort and distinction, indoors or out.
