Classic MCM 3-seater model 67a sofa. Circa 1950s attributed to Florence Knoll for Knoll International. The sofa fabric body sits on a streamlined segmented chrome square-tubed base. Classic representation of the 67a model sofa, the base is comprised of segmented legs-to-frame, perfectly clean-welded. The legs are solid. No label. Fabric is black.
Superb presentation. Condition is original, excellent with no issues. Minimal if any impressions or dimples. Near-mint condition assumes that the sofa was used very minimally.

Florence Knoll Bassett (born May 24, 1917) is an American architect and furniture designer who studied under Mies van der Rohe and Eliel Saarinen. She was born Florence Schust. In 1938, Hans Knoll founded his furniture company by that name in New York. In 1943, Florence Schust convinced Hans she could help bring in business to his company even in America's wartime economy by expanding into interior design by working with architects. With her architectural background and design flair, she succeeded. They married in 1946, she became a full business partner and together they founded Knoll Associates. A new furniture factory was established in Pennsylvania and dealers in Knoll's furniture were carefully added over the next several years.
Florence Knoll felt architects should contribute their design ability to furniture as well. Some of these furniture designs would become design icons of the 20th century and have remained in the Knoll line for decades due to their timeless design. When Hans Knoll died in a car accident in 1955, Florence Knoll took over operation of the company. Florence Knoll herself designed chairs, sofas, tables and casegoods during the 1950s, many of which remain in the Knoll line to this day. In 1958 she married Harry Hood Bassett. less
