RICHARDSCHULTZ

Richard Schultz worked with Harry Bertoia during the development of Bertoia’s iconic collection of wire chairs. Some years later, Florence Knoll specifically asked Schultz to create a collection of furniture that could be used outdoors. The result was the “Leisure Collection” (now sold as the “1966 Collection”) which became an instant classic.

EEROSAARINEN

Saarinen’s work for Knoll, which includes the revolutionary 1957 series of Tulip Chairs and Pedestal Tables, has resulted in designs that have become major icons of the post war era. In his purist approach to architecture and interior design, Eero Saarinen sought the essential idea and reduced it to the most effective structural solution within an overall unity of design. In his Pedestal Table Collection, which includes dining, coffee and side tables, Saarinen realized his ideal of formal unity.
