Florence Knoll
Florence Knoll died on January 26 at the age of 102. A visionary, a designer, an astute business person. Knoll International brought the work of Isamu Noguchi, Harry Bertoia and Eero Saarinen beyond the small circle of artists and museums. The work place was reimagined - "comfort, efficiency and ease of movement and communication." Her papers are at the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art. Old photos, written notes are remarkable.
