Biography
Background
Walter Knoll Team is the credit Walter Knoll gives to its own in-house experts. The company's designer page says they draw on many years of experience to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, and that its specialists continually seek new ways to instill design into technology, construction, material, form and function.
Signature Style
According to the same page, successful products are a team effort at Walter Knoll, and the team has created some of the most successful examples of the modern style from the very start. It names the classic 375 and 369 series, together with Vostra, as examples of excellent craftsmanship and timeless design, and links them to experiments with new materials and the development of a new type of plastic.
