Story
Storage for the table desk
Knoll's page says the executive offices of the postwar years were planned almost identically before Florence Knoll and the Knoll Planning Unit, and that she needed better private-office storage for her desk layout, so she designed the credenza.

Lacquers, woods and marbles
The page presents the Credenza in lacquers, woods and marbles, and names Iris Lacquer, Dark Python Lacquer and Dark Red Ultra Lacquer among the lacquers.
