This example is finished in black lacquered wood with four doors and metal handles. Inside we find the original glass shelves. The white marble top adds a luxurious touch to this minimalist piece resting on a satin-polished steel base. The backside is also finished so it can be used as a room divider. Produced by knoll around 1970 and remains in excellent condition with normal traces of use. When florence knoll revolutionized private office design by replacing the typical executive desk with a table desk in 1961, she needed a place for all the filing and storage that had traditionally lived in desk drawers. Her solution, executed in typical florence knoll elegance, was the low credenza. “i did it because i needed the piece of furniture for a job and it wasn’t there, so i designed it.” perfectly proportioned and immaculately detailed, the design embodies florence knoll’s adherence to the teachings of her favorite mentor, mies van der rohe.
