In a nod to timeless design, furniture manufacturer Knoll has recently reintroduced two iconic pieces by design pioneer Florence Knoll—nearly seven decades after their debut.

 

Originally launched in 1954, the Model 31 lounge chair and Model 33 small sofa have made a remarkable comeback after being out of production since 1968.

Rooted in her architectural background and uncompromising commitment to form and detail, Knoll’s creations have become synonymous with elegance and functionality.

 

This simplicity is seen in the Model 31 lounge chair, considered a testament to the maestro’s design philosophy. Crafted with sturdy tubular steel, it boasts a minimalist yet refined appearance.

Its well-proportioned cushions provide the perfect blend of comfort and aesthetics. What's more, the Model 31 offers a range of upholstery options, ensuring it harmonizes seamlessly with diverse interior settings.

Complementing the lounge chair is the Model 33 small sofa, embodying lightweight strength and sophistication. Its perfectly balanced cushions and sleek lines make it a quintessential mid-century modern piece.

What makes this reissue even more exciting is that modern homeowners can now bring the allure of mid-century design into their living spaces nearly seven decades later.


Perhaps these pieces are more than just furniture; they are a celebration of enduring design that continues to inspire across generations.
