Florence and Hans Knoll developed the idea of the modern office and pioneered the interior design profession.

No company can match the array of products, that combine a Modernist aesthetic with residential appeal. This point of view nurtured by Florence Knoll, has become the trademark of Knoll design. Today, it connects a new generation seeking workplaces that are comfortable for everyday living.

The ‘modern always’ KnoIl, Inc. has launched Muuto Work from Home furniture, lighting and accessories at knoll.com. Home office aficionados can shop online for work-from-home products that tout trademark design, supreme comfort and the high quality of the Knoll and Muuto brands.

Muuto, a Knoll constellation brand, is based in Copenhagen. The company was acquired in 2017 and maintains its own brand and heritage of Scandinavian design. Muuto products pair effortlessly and stylishly with classic Knoll + new Knoll and favorite Knoll. 

There’s much talk about Facebook, Google, Twitter, Coinbase, Lambda School, Shopify, Square, Upwork, Amazon, Box, Salesforce, Zillow, PayPal, Viacom and a host of other prominent companies offering their workers the option of continuing to work remotely for the foreseeable future—or indefinitely. 

The work-from-home trend has proved beneficial for both the companies and their employees. Corporations can save money, as they’ll likely scale back expensive office leases. Employees benefit from being at home to attend to their children, especially as the situation for online and blended-classroom schooling is still challenging. The climate improves with less commuters and the quality of life is dramatically enhanced, as people will shave hours off of stressful drives, bus or train rides back and forth to the office.

Knoll + Muuto has developed the kit you need for the perfect home workspace. Knoll design director Benjamin Pardo suggests, “As we become accustomed to new work styles in the office and at home, designing a modern, comfortable and affordable personalized space for remote work is increasingly important.” #home_work_lifestyle

Most of the furniture included in the Knoll + Muuto Work from Home campaign ship in 1-3 days.

Knoll + Muuto Work from Home designs include a range of Knoll classic and contemporary designs by David Adjaye, Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll, Marc Krusin and Eero Saarinen. Knoll is also working closely with clients in the commercial, healthcare and education sectors on programs that allow their employees to purchase Knoll + Muuto work-from-home furniture online.
