Mies Van Der Rohe
Mies van der Rohe is regarded as a master of modern architecture alongside Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. He sought to establish a new architectural style that could represent modern times. His buildings made use of modern materials and he strived towards a minimal framework of structural order balanced against the implied freedom of free-flowing open space. He is often associated with the aphorisms "less is more" and "God is in the details".
Hans Knoll founded Knoll in 1938 and partnered with Florence who assumed leadership. Knoll would triumph with international contacts and gained rights to the works of Mies van der Rohe. Knoll collaborated with Saarinen to design the Tulip collection. Bertoia, Risom, Noguchi and Breuer also collaborated with Knoll.
