In the 1930s, his nephew Hans Knoll moved to New York, where the meeting with the architect Florence Schust (later Florence Knoll) marked a decisive turning point. Together they introduced a new design approach, integrating furniture and architecture into a single coherent system. Their vision considered furniture as part of the space, in dialogue with proportions, materials and architectural lines. This method became the foundation of the Knoll identity and his collection, today considered among the most important of modernism. Thanks to the collaboration with notable designers and architects, Knoll has created a catalog of works present in the main museums of the world, including MoMA, characterized by an essential, functional and timeless design. Jens Risom (1916–2016) He was one of the pioneers of modernist design and a key figure in the establishment of Scandinavian design in the United States. Born in Copenhagen and trained at the School of Arts and Crafts, he was influenced by the Danish tradition based on functionality, simplicity and quality craftsmanship. In 1939 he emigrated to the United States, where he began to collaborate with Hans Knoll. In 1941 he designed Knoll's first original collection, contributing significantly to defining the company's identity. Its furnishings are characterized by clean lines, balanced proportions and an intelligent use of materials, often designed for efficient production without sacrificing elegance. In 1946 he founded his own company, Jens Risom Design, becoming one of the first designers to promote a modern, informal lifestyle suited to post-war American society.
