Description
Piero Lissoni’s goal was to simplify the traditional idea of the sofa, which is often the result of a complex construction. At the same time, however, he did not want to overlook the high-quality standards Knoll requires of every designer in every project.
In perfect Knoll style, to create a comfortable and elegant product, Lissoni has come up with a sofa whose design sums up and explains its genesis, full of technological and sartorial content, reflecting the research and craftsmanship that have always been key factors in the company’s genetic code. Relaxing on a Gould sofa immediately gives one a pleasant sensation of comfort thanks to the padding of the cushions, down or polyurethane/wadding. A series of decor cushions, with precise design that leaves no geometric figure to chance.
A balanced game of geometric lines and volumes, replicated for a new line of furniture that aims to become a new classic, easy to insert in any setting, from private homes to contract applications.
ABOUT KNOLL – A Legacy of Modern Design
Knoll embodies a belief in the power of modern design—a philosophy that has guided the brand for over 80 years. Rooted in the Bauhaus design principle that modern furniture should complement architectural space rather than compete, Knoll has consistently upheld this ideal, creating environments where form and function coexist harmoniously.
Founded by Hans and Florence Knoll, the company draws inspiration from the innovative spirit of the Bauhaus School and the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Their vision of a new kind of furniture and workplace design, where craftsmanship and technology blend seamlessly, continues to shape Knoll’s values and informs every piece produced today.
For more than eight decades, Knoll has collaborated with pioneering modernists and bold contemporary designers, pushing the boundaries of design. Partnerships, from Florence Knoll’s timeless works to the innovative creations of Antenna Design, Don Chadwick, and David Adjaye, have defined the brand’s legacy and will continue to shape its future.
Knoll is more than just furniture; it is about creating connections—between people and their work, their lives, and their world. Recognised globally since 1938, Knoll’s workplace and residential furnishings are designed to inspire, adapt, and endure. The company’s commitment to modern design, deep understanding of the evolving workplace, and dedication to sustainability have culminated in a unique portfolio of products that respond to the changing needs of its customers.
This is Knoll’s story—a story of design that not only stands the test of time but also continues to lead the way forward.
