In 1865, Wilhelm Knoll laid the foundation for a furniture dynasty by opening his own workshop. Later, in 1925, his son Walter, inspired by the ideas of the Bauhaus school, took a bold step - he founded a separate company Walter Knoll & Co. It was from this moment that the history of the Walter Knoll brand began, which is still considered the standard of modern furniture.
Walter Knoll was one of the first in Germany to introduce the principles of functionality and conciseness into furniture design. His Prodomo collection armchairs are considered to be the first examples of modern upholstered furniture. Clean lines, well-thought-out ergonomics and the use of high-quality materials, such as natural leather and precious wood, have become the hallmark of the brand.
German quality is undoubtedly the cornerstone of the Walter Knoll's philosophy. The company cooperates only with the best craftsmen and uses innovative technologies for processing materials. For example, in the production of furniture, special leather processing techniques are used that allow it to remain soft and elastic for many years.
The frames of the products are made of solid wood, which has been carefully dried and treated with special compounds to protect against deformation and moisture. Walter Knoll's furniture design is a harmonious combination of timeless classics and current trends. Renowned designers from all over the world work on the creation of the collections. Among them are Mies van der Rohe, Claudio Bellini, Piero Lissoni and many other legendary creators. Each designer brings their own unique touch while preserving the brand's DNA - impeccable quality, comfort and elegance.
The Foster collection is a vivid example of this approach. The sofas and armchairs in this series are distinguished by soft, enveloping shapes as if inviting you to relax and enjoy your rest. And the chairs and tables of the Temno collection are the embodiment of modern minimalism. Strict geometric shapes, high-quality materials and well-thought-out functionality make this collection ideal for creating a stylish and functional workspace.
Walter Knoll furniture is a true work of art, designed to serve several generations. It is an investment in comfort, quality and beauty that is timeless.
