Knoll - American modernism, second-hand
Knoll, founded in New York in 1938, brought modernist design into homes and offices with pieces by Eero Saarinen, Harry Bertoia, Mies van der Rohe and Charles Pfister. Knoll furniture is built for decades of use, which makes it a smart second-hand choice. At TROC Leuven in Herent we check frames, upholstery and markings.

Buying tips
- Measurement and fit: check the dimensions in the listing, plus doors, stairs and the free space around the piece.
