Knoll Barcelona Table
Exhibiting an unerring sense of proportion, as well as minimalist forms and exquisitely refined details, architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's tables and chairs have been called “architecture in miniature.” The Barcelona Table (1930) was originally created for the Mies-designed Villa Tugendhat in Brno, Czech Republic. Absolute in its elegance, the seamless, single-piece construction of the base ensures precision and durability. The polished chrome frame is stamped with the KnollStudio logo and the designer’s signature. Photo Courtesy of Design Within Reach
ShopKnoll Womb Chair and Ottoman
When Florence Knoll challenged Eero Saarinen to create a chair that she could curl up in, she found the right candidate for the task. The Womb Chair and Ottoman (1946) feature enveloping forms that continue as one of the most iconic representations of midcentury organic modernism. Applying foam molded over a fiberglass shell created a single-piece form that perfectly facilitates a relaxed posture. Manufactured by Knoll according to the original specifications of the designer. Made in U.S.A.
ShopTon Salt Chair
The compact footprint of this chair makes it a smart choice for cafes or just about anywhere you need to maximize seating. Its lack of ornamentation and unnecessary excess lends this timeless, Shaker-style chair a modern feel. Finished in a water-based opaque paint that really makes the chair’s profile pop, Salt is unpretentious, familiar, and made for everyday use.
ShopCase Cross Fixed Table
After earning his degree in furniture design from Kingston Polytechnic in 1979, Matthew Hilton opened a design studio in London, and he’s been creating innovative, classic pieces ever since. The Cross Fixed Table (2005) is crafted with the designer’s trademark splayed-leg base for an impressive combination of legroom and stability. The fixed (by which we mean non-expanding) tabletop is finished with a solid wood chamfered edge for comfort and durability. Depending on size of chairs, this table seats up to eight people. Walnut table made in Malaysia, oak in Lithuania.
ShopHeyMat Spot Mat
Kristine Five Melvær explores how objects and materials can forge emotional bonds with users. Her Mix Mat (2016) features a mélange of circular shapes in complementary hues that together create a pattern reminiscent of traditional woven textiles. With high-absorbency and long-lasting quality, it’s suitable for use indoors and out with a rubber backing that prevents slippage. Manufactured from 50% post-consumer polyester and 50% recycled plastic bottles. Machine washable. Made in Belgium.
ShopKnoll Barcelona Chair
When Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was chosen to create the furnishings for the German Pavilion at the 1929 International Exhibition in Barcelona, he designed an iconic chair that many may not realize was born with royal roots. He built the Barcelona Chair to serve as seating for the king and queen of Spain, while he also designed a stool for the attendees to rest on. He formed an angular, tufted cushion that comes from a single cowhide—either Spinneybeck® or Edelman Leather. The support is made of cowhide belting straps that are dyed to match the color of the chair. In order to create such precise tufting, 40 leather panels are cut individually and are both hand-welted and hand-tufted with leather buttons. In 1953, Mies van der Rohe officially granted the production rights to Florence Knoll, who was a close friend during their time at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Today, Knoll continues to produce the chair in the U.S.A. to the exact specifications of the original design. Photo Courtesy of Knoll
ShopIchendorf Torre Night Carafe Set
Located in Milan, Ichendorf is renowned for its work in borosilicate glass. Many people associate this material with Pyrex, but in the hands of Ichendorf master glaziers, it’s transformed into very thin, lightweight pieces that are also supremely strong and resistant to temperature changes. Keep the Torre Night Carafe Set (2010) handy on your bedside table to avoid getting parched during the night. Dishwasher safe. Made in China
ShopKartell Generic C Chair
Philippe Starck has always been a firm believer in the concept of “democratic design,” or the production of quality items available at lower prices so more people can enjoy them worldwide. He identifies the “generics” of community seating with his aptly named Generic C (2016), a chair he designed specifically for gathering spaces such as bars and restaurants. Lightweight yet highly durable, it’s fitted with a high seat back and wraparound armrest for surprising comfort. Suitable for use indoors and out. Stacks up to six high. Made in Italy.

ShopAlessi Collo-Alto Salad Server Set
French designer Inga Sempé aims for simplicity and sustainability in her designs. Elegant yet functional, her Collo-Alto Salad Server Set is a perfectly simple delivery system for all kinds of green goodies. Includes two pieces. Dishwasher safe. Made in Vietnam.
ShopCase Orb Grinder
A perfect companion in any kitchen, the geometric Orb Grinder (2017) is finely crafted from solid beech. It’s also a friend of the environment, designed by Gareth Neal to stand the test of time and fitted with a CrushGrind ceramic mechanism that increases its longevity. The coarseness of the grind can be adjusted simply by turning the knob at the base. Made in the Czech Republic.
ShopTon Valencia Chair
Industrial designers Alex Selma and Clara del Portillo met at an exhibition for young designers in 2004. Two years later, they founded their studio and launched their first collection as Yonoh, an ambigram – a word that retains meaning even when its letters are flipped over or reversed – they invented to express the bicephalic (two-headed) character of their own approach. For the furniture company Ton, they created the Valencia Collection (2018), named for the Spanish city where Yonoh is based. With its ergonomic form, solid wood construction, steam-bent legs and generous backrest, Valencia has all the makings of a classic that will last for generations but never bore. Chair stacks up to six high. Made in the Czech Republic.
ShopLinie Design Memo Rug
A graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Urd Moll Gundermann has worked with a number of international companies in the textile, fashion, print and industrial design industries. Since 2012, she’s served as designer and product developer at Linie Design, one of the largest developers and wholesalers of handmade rugs in Europe. Her Memo Rug (2016) is woven from pure wool, with fringe on both ends. It features geometric shapes in neutral colors that captivate the eye without dominating the room. Linie is a member of Care & Fair, an organization created to help fight illegal child labor and improve living conditions of carpet knotters and their families in India, Nepal and Pakistan. Made in India. Photo Courtesy of Design Within Reach
ShopDesign Within Reach Rug Pad
Available in seven sizes, our Rug Pad is a reversible, nonslip cushioned under-layer for your rug or floor mat. It protects floors, as well as the underside of your rug, providing a solid base that will reduce the rug’s tendency to pucker under the weight of furniture. Made domestically out of 100% recyclable materials, it won’t stain or discolor even after years of foot traffic. Can be cut to any size needed. Made in U.S.A. Photo Courtesy of Design Within Reach
ShopShin and Tomoko Azumi LEM Piston Stool
Shin and Tomoko Azumi have brought innovation to a range of products, from subwoofer speakers to salt and pepper shakers to their LEM Piston Stool (2000). Named Product of the Year at the FX International Interior Design Awards in the year of its release, the often copied LEM Piston Stool reveals a rigorous and original rethinking of the form and function of seating. The sculptural seat not only swivels but also adjusts easily from counter height to bar height with a lever that activates a gas cylinder. While utility strongly determines its form, this unique stool also has a visual lightness that creates the illusion of freedom from gravity. After designing the LEM Piston Stool, Shin and Tomoko Azumi dissolved their partnership to start solo practices, and they both still develop furniture, lighting and interiors for clients worldwide. LEM is included in the permanent collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Made in Italy. Photo Courtesy of Design Within Reach
ShopKnoll Saarinen Tulip Armless Chair
When Eero Saarinen designed his Pedestal Collection for Knoll in 1956, he created an alternative to the "ugly, confusing, unrestful world" that he thought tables and chairs had become known for. The Tulip Chair—available with or without arms—sits on a cast-aluminum base that was inspired by a drop of high-viscosity liquid and can be topped with a black or white Rilsan®-coated finish. The molded fiberglass shell seat swivels so that it’s easy to slide in and out from a table. Since Saarinen saw himself as a “form giver,” his design was inevitably sculptural—and has become an iconic silhouette used throughout modern homes. Each Tulip Chair is stamped with Saarinen’s signature and the KnollStudio logo.
ShopCase Dulwich Extension Table
Since graduating from London’s Kingston Polytechnic in 1979, Matthew Hilton has built a following for his innovative furniture and lighting, with pieces held in the permanent collections of London’s Geffrye and Victoria & Albert Museums, among others. His Dulwich Extension Table (2016) - pronounced “dull-itch,” just like its London neighbor Greenwich - is a masterclass in function and craft. The piece’s slender legs draw outward from the corners, maximizing user legroom, while details like mitered joints and visible through-tenons speak to its artistry. Finished with a solid-wood edge banding for durability, the tabletop has a locking steel mechanism that easily opens to accommodate the table’s additional leaves. The rectangular table is made in Malaysia (walnut) or Lithuania (oak), and the round one in Thailand.
