It’s National Design Week!
Running from October 15th to the 23rd and sponsored by the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, National Design Week is its “largest education initiative, [which] aims to draw national attention to the ways in which design enriches everyday life.”
As the 2011 winner of the 2011 National Design Award for Corporate and Institutional Achievement, Knoll knows a thing or two about good design.
Generation Chair by Knoll
Whether its an office chair you sit in everyday or a lounge chair that’s equal parts “art and industry”, Knoll products for both home and office are created by some of the best designers on the planet. This is something that Knoll has always strived for since its inception in 1938 by Hans Knoll. He founded the company “based on the conviction that good design enriches and improves our lives.”

How to spot a design classic
As a proud Knoll retailer, authenticity and the preservation of design integrity is important to us. A member of the Knoll team shared an article with us from Elle Decoration’s June 2007 issue. Though the article is a few year’s old, there are some GREAT tips on how to ensure you’re getting an authentic Knoll Barcelona Chair or Tulip Chair.
