AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
KNOLL: LE DESIGN MODERNISTE – Brian Lutz – Éditions du Chêne (2010) – Design Icons: Saarinen, Mies van der Rohe, Bertoia
Owning this volume is more than just adding a book to your library; it is possessing the definitive "bible" of international Modernism. "Knoll: Le Design Moderniste" is the visual and historical chronicle of how a vision born in the Bauhaus conquered the world, redefining the very concept of living and working in the 20th century.
Authored by Brian Lutz and published by the prestigious Éditions du Chêne, this imposing monograph explores the legendary legacy of Hans and Florence Knoll. The book provides an in-depth journey through:
Immortal Icons:
Discover the genesis of Eero Saarinen’s Tulip chair, the sculptural elegance of Harry Bertoia’s Diamond chair, and the architectural rigor of Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair.
Total Design:
The volume delves into Florence Knoll’s revolutionary approach, which seamlessly integrated architecture, interior furniture, and graphic design into a single aesthetic vision.
Archive Photography:
Richly illustrated with rare historical archive photos, technical sketches, and vintage advertising campaigns created by masters such as Herbert Matter and Massimo Vignelli.
First published in 2010, this volume has become a sought-after collector's item, as it is now out of print in many original editions. It is an indispensable tool for architects, interior designers, and mid-century modern collectors who wish to document the history of the pieces in their collections.

About Knoll
Founded in 1938 by Hans Knoll and later driven by the visionary leadership of his wife, Florence Knoll, the company did not merely manufacture furniture—it defined the visual language of the 20th century. By championing the mantra "Good design is good business," Knoll transformed the stark postwar interior into a fluid, elegant, and functional landscape. Through collaborations with geniuses like Eero Saarinen and Harry Bertoia, and by securing production rights for Mies van der Rohe’s classics, Knoll elevated furniture to an art form, making their pieces timeless icons of luxury and international prestige.
