KNOLL ASSOCIATES, INC.
1965 Catalogue
Knoll Associates: KNOLL ASSOCIATES, INC. NYC: Knoll Associates, Inc., 1965. Original edition. A very good stapled brochure in photographically-printed self- wrappers: wrappers lightly worn. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print. An easily-abused volume, featuring photography by Herbert Matter. 8.5 x 11 saddle-stitched brochure with 20 pages and 62 b/w photographs devoted to the furniture designs for Knoll Associates, circa 1965. All furniture designs are identified by name and dimensions. I suspect this information could be useful to some people out there.
Includes work by Florence Knoll, Eero Saarinen, Richard Schultz, Harry Bertoia, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Charles Pollock, Max Pearson, and Vincent Cafiero.
This scarce original brochure needs to be seen to be truly appreciated. A first-class production, from the crisp printing, sensitive typography, photo editing, grid layouts -- all elements come together to produce an excellent design artifact for the ages. Herbert Matteršs original Corporate ID Design is very much apparent, from the stylized Knoll "K"to the fine-arts Sculptural approach to photographing the furniture. Looking at this catalogue, it's easy to trace the evolution of the Knoll Visual Identiry from Matter's European Avant-Garde origins to Massimo Vignellišs European Modernist neutering.
