Florence Knoll 4 Unit Credenza 8 Box 2 File
Florence Knoll Bassett (born May 24, 1917) is an American architect and furniture designer who studied under the likes of Mies van der Rohe and Eero Saarinen. She was born in Saginaw, Michigan as “Florence Schust” and is known in familiar circles simply as “Shu”. She graduated from Kinsgwood School in 1934. In 1943 she joined with her husband Hans Knoll in redirecting Hans’s furniture company more toward a modernist, Scandinavian style. After Hans’s death, Florence took over as head of Knoll. In 1958 she married Harry Hood Bassett.
Florence Knoll Bassett almost single-handedly created the look of contemporary corporate interiors in the 1950s and ’60s, as founder and director of the Knoll Planning Unit, the space-planning arm of Knoll® Associates. She looked at furniture design as just one aspect of her “total design” approach to interiors. “I did it because I needed a piece of furniture for a job and it wasn’t there, so I designed it,” she said.
