Knoll Launches Knoll Luxe Textiles
4.7.08 | Knoll has formed a new high-end textile brand called Knoll Luxe.
Designed by creative director Dorothy Cosonas, the line
incorporates the modern, minimalist style of Florence Knoll, who
started the industry's first commercial textile program in 1947.
Herman Miller Settles Aeron Retail Advertising Case
3.31.08 | Herman Miller said last week that it settled anti-trust allegations
made by the Attorneys General of New York, Illinois and Michigan against
Herman Miller for the Home for HMHs Minimum Advertised Price
Program. Not to keep you in suspense, the case resulted in a
stand-off, with all parties acknowledging that the agreement does not
constitute either an admission or denial of liability or wrongdoing
and, independent of the settlement document, Herman Miller categorically
denied any wrongdoing.
HNI To Acquire HBF
3.24.08 | What a difference a decade makes. Ten years ago when the word was out
that HNI (then named HON INDUSTRIES) was bidding to acquire
Knoll from Westinghouse, one would have thought the world was
coming to an end, or at least the sky was falling. Now, everyone in the
know is breathing a huge sigh of relief that the treasured brand of
HBF is going to be safely tucked neatly near the warm, financially
sound hearth of HNI.
