LOT 04161
A signature KnollStudio design, produced to Mies' original specifications. Exclusive manufacturing and sales rights were accorded to Knoll by the designer in 1953.
The KnollStudio logo and the signature of Mies van der Rohe are stamped into the base of each couch.
Purchased from Knoll US and used for only 10 months. It was then shipped to the UK and stored for a long time in a storage in London.
I am also selling a pair of matching Barcelona Stools LOT 04166 and a pair of Barcelona Chairs by KnollStudio LOT 04165.
For nearly 80 years Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy that modern furniture should complement architectural space, not compete with it. Modern design has been the guiding principle.
Founders Hans and Florence Knoll, embraced the creative genius at the Bauhaus School and the Cranbrook Academy of Art to create new types of furniture and environments for the workplace. Their approach, where craftsmanship joined with technology through the use of design, anchors perspective and shapes the values Knoll endeavor to live by today.
A long history of collaborations, with pioneering modernists to bold contemporary designers, define not only the past but the future of Knoll through active, recent, and future partnerships with David Rockwell, Antenna Design, Barber Osgerby, Formway Design, Don Chadwick, David Adjaye, and Rem Koolhaas.
