At the 57th Salone Internazionale del Mobile, Knoll celebrates its 80th anniversary, presenting new collections and iconic designs that reaffirm the brand’s global creative vision. Founded in 1938 through collaborations with the great masters of 20th-century design and architecture, today Knoll continues to evolve by working with contemporary talents - David Adjaye, Jonathan Olivares, Marc Krusin, and David Rockwell.

Salone introductions include designs by Piero Lissoni that establish a dialogue with the architect’s latest work for Knoll. Lissoni has designed a family of armchairs and a modular bookcase, both based on an absolute balance between modernity and tradition.

In addition, Knoll introduces Marc Newson’s Aluminum Chair. Honoring the cantilevered chairs of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a forefather of Modernism, Newson’s design, 90 years later, is a forward-looking expression that synthesizes simplicity, material and precision, in the Modernist tradition.

The exhibition space designed by OMA, the architecture and design firm co-founded by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, reflects the minimalist tone applied by Marcel Breuer in the original project for the Whitney Museum of American Art. OMA explores modular logic, prefabrication and geometry to create an adaptable, practical display space. The result: a space for contemporary designs to stand alongside Knoll classics in celebration of eighty years of innovative and modern design.

Salone Internazionale del Mobile begins next week on April 17. Find Knoll at stand D09/E16 in Hall 20.
