Florence Knoll (New York, 1917 – 2019) was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century modern design and furniture, an architect and industrial designer who transformed the way offices and homes were furnished worldwide. Trained at the Cranbrook Academy of Art and the Architectural Association in London, Florence Knoll brought a rigorous, functional, and elegant approach to design, integrating architecture, proportions, and high-quality materials.

In the 1950s, Florence Knoll began her long collaboration with Knoll International, helping define the brand’s distinctive style with clean, functional, and timeless furniture. Among her most iconic creations are the BC series sofas and lounge chairs, designed to combine comfort, ergonomic proportions, and modular design, ideal for both residential and contract spaces. These pieces embody Knoll’s philosophy: premium materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and sophisticated design.

The BC sofas by Florence Knoll represent the pinnacle of American mid-century modern design from the 1950s and 1960s, featuring minimalist forms, durable upholstery, and high-quality fabric or leather covers. Thanks to their timeless elegance, these pieces are highly sought after by mid-century design collectors and luxury furniture enthusiasts and remain an enduring symbol of Knoll International’s iconic style.
