Knoll - KN05 sofa

The salient feature of the settee  is the shell, a smooth, curved unit which gives KN05 a recognizable, original design. The new version become a very versatile seat that offers pure relaxation.
The collaboration between Piero Lissoni and Knoll continues with the KN Collection, presented in two new and different interpretations which represent the evolution of a program that began in 2018.

Ideal for completing domestic corners where relaxation is a style, as well as for domestic spaces and waiting rooms, all the way to informal office settings, KN05 is perfectly coordinated with all the collections in the Knoll catalogue, where the elegant, sophisticated touch of Piero Lissoni generates an aesthetic of lightness that sets the tone of the entire KN family.

Rigor and purity, contemporary and functional design. A perfect combination that gives rise to a new aesthetic of living, capable of harmoniously tuning domestic environments and collective facilities, from waiting rooms to hotel lobbies. These contexts become the expression of personal identity, thanks to the expansion of the traditional codes of the home that open to incorporate multiple hybrids and infinite compositional possibilities.

Piero Lissoni

Piero Lissoni began his career as a furniture designer after graduating in architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. In 1986 he founded his own studio, specializing in architecture, furniture, interior and graphic design. It produced a diverse portfolio that included projects for showrooms, yachts, private residences and hotels.

Knoll

Knoll uses modern design to connect people to their work, to their lives, to their world. Since 1938, it has been internationally recognized for creating furniture for work and residential environments.

For more than 80 years Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy that modern furniture should complement the architectural space. At Knoll, modern design has been the guiding principle and this passion has been shared by customers and design professionals around the world. The founders, Hans and Florence Knoll, embraced the creative genius of the time.  Supported schools were Bauhaus School and Cranbrook Academy of Art to create new types of furniture and workplace environments.

Their approach, where craftsmanship joins technology through the use of design, sets the perspective and shapes the values that live today. 80 years of historical collaborations, with pioneering modernists and daring contemporary designers, define not only the past but the future through active, recent and future collaborations with Antenna Design, Don Chadwick, Formway Design, Jehs & Laub, Joseph D'Urso , David Adjaye and OMA.
