Featuring a full metallic frame and different density foam cushioning, the Florence Lounge chair Relax is the new version of the iconic original, designed by Knoll founder Florence Knoll in 1954. Upholstered in luxurious Kvadrat Hallingdal fabric, the lounge chair is a stylish addition to any interior space, creating an inviting seating solution to fall into after a hard days work, whilst entertaining guests or when reading your favourite new book by the fire.
While a student at the Kingswood School on the campus of the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Florence Knoll Bassett (nee Schust) became a protege of Eero Saarinen. She studied architecture at Cranbrook, the Architectural Association in London and the Armour Institute (Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago). She worked briefly for Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and Wallace K. Harrison.
In 1946, she became a full business and design partner and married Hans Knoll, after which they formed Knoll Associates. She was at once a champion of world-class architects and designers and an exceptional architect in her own right.
