Upcoming Stair Auction Brings Furniture, Decorative Art

Hans and Florence Knoll founded the well-known furniture company Knoll Inc. in 1938. Headquartered in East Greenville, Pennsylvania, the American brand received the National Design Award in 2011 and a permanent place in museums across the country. Most of Knoll’s furniture was made in collaboration with noteworthy designers such as Frank Gehry, Maya Lin, and Mies van der Rohe. A pair of Knoll-style upholstered chaise lounges are available in the upcoming Thursday Morning at Stair auction, offered by Stair.

The event will showcase an eclectic selection of furniture and decorative art. Featured in the catalog is a pair of Regency-style painted faux marble consoles. Typically favored by the Parisian aristocracy, Regency was a transitional decorative style that originated in France between 1715 and 1723. Several pieces of fine art by Georges René Sinicki, André Minaux, and others are also available. Interested collectors can browse the entire catalog or place a bid on Bidsquare.
