Based in Herrenberg, near Stuttgart, the more than 150-year-old business is one of the most successful furniture companies of the modern era and a global leader in the high end furnishings segment. Walter Knoll's impressively long history dates back to Wilhelm Knoll, the founding father of the Knoll dynasty, who first set up a leather shop in Stuttgart in 1865. Knoll rose from being a cobbler to the court purveyor to the House of WuÌrttemberg. When his sons, Willy and Walter, took over the company in 1907, they began producing seating - introducing the first club armchair to Germany and becoming the industry's first exporter. Their advances marked a revolution in upholstered furniture. After founding his own company in the 1920s, Walter Knoll was a breakout sensation in the avant-garde interior design world with a landmark exhibition at the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart, under the direction of Mies van der Rohe, in 1927. His son Hans Knoll went to the U.S. in the 1930s and founded his own company, Knoll Inc., which re-wrote design history. In 1993, Markus Benz, the son of Rolf Benz, joined the Knoll ranks, continuing the successful cooperation with internationally-renowned architects and designers. 600 10 $a Knoll, Walter. 610 20 $a Knoll International, Inc. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79058457 650 0 $a Furniture design $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Furniture designers $z Germany. 610 27 $a Knoll International, Inc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533120 650 7 $a Furniture design. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00936534 650 7 $a Furniture designers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00936539 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213011653.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A22A005E1D7611EA83B92C1397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
