Knoll - Grasshopper 240x100 table with black base

The company presents Grasshopper, a collection of tables designed by Piero Lissoni, a perfect combination of pure geometry and design synthesis. The modern table is the place where key decisions are made, hosting a range of functions from family meetings to business meetings. The elegance of Grasshopper comes from its combination of surfaces and structure: the surfaces are distinguished by their slenderness and are available with an innovative rectangular shape, incorporating rounded corners, or in a circular format, while the structure is composed of very thin elements in die-cast steel available in chrome, burnished or painted finishes. The table top is available in unusual and exquisite stone, such as Ruby Red marble, glass and woods.

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.
