Florence Knoll

Knoll studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art and the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, mentoring alongside Eero Saarinen, Charles & Ray Eames, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and other iconic designers. Her design approach included functionalism, modernism, integration, attention to detail, and collaboration.

Known for considering her furniture the “meat and potatoes” of design, the versatility and geometry of this bench align with Florence Knoll’s minimalist and functional approach. This Relaxed 4-Seater Square Bench is a seat, footrest, and a soft coffee table for books and trays.

This “Petit” version is not as small as its namesake. It offers comfortable seating for up to 4 people, but is the smallest square bench from the relaxed series. For larger options see the Relaxed 5-Seater Medium Square Bench and Relaxed Large 6-Seater Square Bench.
