She \n\u003cbr\u003eworked from 1945 to 1965 at Knoll Associates, first as business partner \n\u003cbr\u003ewith her husband Hans Knoll, later as president after his death, and, \n\u003cbr\u003efinally, as design director. Her commissions became hallmarks of the \n\u003cbr\u003emodern era, including the Barcelona Chair by Mies van der Rohe, the \n\u003cbr\u003eDiamond Chair by Harry Bertoia, and the Platner Collection by Warren \n\u003cbr\u003ePlatner. A designer in her own right, she created classics like the \n\u003cbr\u003eParallel Bar Collection, which is still in production today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer \n\u003cbr\u003ebiggest influence came through her groundbreaking interiors and the \n\u003cbr\u003ecreation of the acclaimed \"Knoll look.\" She invigorated the dry, \n\u003cbr\u003erational modernist International Style through humanizing textiles, \n\u003cbr\u003elighting, and accessories, inventing the visual language of the modern \n\u003cbr\u003eoffice that remains a standard for interior design today. Although \n\u003cbr\u003eKnoll's motto was \"no compromise, ever,\" as a woman in a White, \\nupper-middle-class, male-dominated environment, she often had to make \n\u003cbr\u003eaccommodations to gain respect from her colleagues, clients, and \n\u003cbr\u003ecollaborators. No Compromise looks at Knoll's extraordinary career in close-up, from her student days to her professional accomplishments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48223574032619,"sku":"EB_DE0800_F26-03_SIMS","price":51.31,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781616899936-1.jpg?v=1781693680","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781616899936","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
