About Knoll
Knoll products are defined by a distinct modern sensibility. From classics by the likes of Mies van der Rohe to ground-breaking designs by contemporary creatives including Marc Newson, David Adjaye, Barber Osgerby and Rem Koolhaas.
Coupé balances soft, ergonomic forms with a strong horizontal line, as the padded headrest and lumbar elements intersect with the curved profile of the armrest. Its inclined seat recalls a modernist approach to comfort—designed to embrace the body rather than simply accommodate it. Designed by @giampiero.tagliaferri for @minotti_spa.
Coupé by @giampiero.tagliaferri revisits the sculptural language of 1960s and ’70s seating through overlapping rounded volumes and an inclined, enveloping profile. Tone-on-tone longitudinal stitching traces the leather upholstery from headrest to seat, a precise detail that reflects the couture-inspired craftsmanship of @minotti_spa.
Umasi, light that moves through space.
A floor and suspension luminaire for diffuse indoor illumination, Umasi brings softness to the space as light passes through three paper-covered PETG shades, dissolving shadows and smoothing outlines. With a shade that travels along the wire from ceiling to floor, Umasi is designed to adapt to the architecture and create a quiet sense of warmth and familiarity.
Umas, designed by Davide Groppi 2026.
