Knoll Florence
Knoll Bassett, one half of the founding partners of Knoll Inc. designed this range of armchairs and
sofas in 1954, and it is as 'contemporary' now as it was then.

Vitra
The Coconut Chair, designed by George Nelson,

The 'Distance' series of upholstered seating was designed by Niels
Jørgen Haugesen. The most eye-catching feature is the

Agents' offices around London, teamed with its 'sister' chair the Egg, also
designed by Mr. Jacobsen. |
