The process of bringing the Nelson Thin Edge Bed (1954) back into production began at the Herman Miller Archives, where engineers carefully studied vintage pieces and original drawings.
When Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick designed the Aeron Chair (1994), they combined a deep knowledge of human-centered design with cutting-edge technology to create a chair unlike any other.
Some designs never age, and the Wassily Chair by Knoll is the perfect case study in this brand of timelessness. Framed in tubular steel, it's a characteristic creation of designer Marcel Breuer, who became intrigued with this material after purchasing his first bicycle.
Designer Todd Bracher approaches his work by studying how people interact with objects. “I try to capture what’s meaningful in that exchange,” he explains.
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.

Charles and Ray Eames had ideas about making a better world, one in which things were designed to bring greater pleasure to our lives.

The designer was true to his words when he created the Girard Coffee Table (1948) for Knoll®. The art of this coffee table is its book-matched walnut veneer tabletop, organic shape, and smooth 45-degree beveled edge.
The unmistakable Eames Molded Plastic chair takes on a different life with each of its base offerings.
Seeking furniture that could stand up to the salty environment of her seaside home, Florence Knoll called Richard Schultz up to the task. His answer: The 1966 Collection®, a refined series that brings the clean lines and balanced proportions of indoor modern furniture to outdoor living.
The Ball Clock (1949) was the first of more than 150 clocks designed by George Nelson Associates for the Howard Miller Clock Company, which sold them from 1949 into the 1980s.
