Florence Knoll Sofa in Bronze Gray Performance Velvet With Brushed Brass Base

Creator: Florence Knoll
Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
Modern day obsession with Mid-Century design wouldn't exist if not for the momentous efforts of Florence Knoll. The most significant chapter in Knoll’s life was spent devoted to her namesake company. Her work at Knoll in cultivating the world’s talent in the fields of design & architecture resulted in one of the most timeless collections of furniture design still revered today. Florence Knoll was also one of the first designers of commercial space, her “Planning Unit” team took on projects for clients such as IBM, Connecticut General Life, CBS, and Look Magazine.

It was during these years in interior design when Knoll required furniture which in some cases simply did not exist, her response to this problem was simple: design it. With that, she created what may be one of the most iconic furniture collections of our time. Her lounge chairs, tables, and sofas such as ours shown, are beloved symbols of Mid-Century design still used in homes & offices alike.

The Object Refinery team has thoughtfully restored this vintage iteration Florence Knoll Sofa leaving not one inch untouched. We’ve decided to honor Knoll’s design with brushed brass plating on its frame, a finish for this classic which is exclusive to our Studio. The sofa has also received new interior foam and upholstery, we chose a durable Performance Velvet in Bronze Gray which handsomely accents the Brushed Brass base. The result is a timeless piece of Florence Knoll design, expertly restored to live on for at least another lifetime
