Expressive materials and finishes. Generation by Knoll energizes space. The fluid, progressive form of Generation by Knoll represents a contemporary expression of how people sit, aspiring to be the user’s shadow, and almost, but not quite, as elastic as the human body. Like the sculptural designs of Knoll masters Eero Saarinen and Harry Bertoia, Generation by Knoll complements architecturally-inspired interiors. With its many color and finish choices, Generation by Knoll can energize space much in the same way that it energizes users.
