New York, NY, December 6, 2018 – Coinciding with the debut of the brand’s 10th Anniversary Collection, KnollTextiles (NYSE: KNL) has introduced online ordering for the complete Knoll Luxe range of products. The expanded offering covers ten years of forward-looking, innovative upholstery and drapery designs from the fashion-minded perspective of KnollTextiles Creative Director, Dorothy Cosonas, and her collaborators.
Using the runway as her muse, Cosonas conceived Knoll Luxe in 2008 as textiles that serve as high fashion for inspired spaces. Each collection brings the bespoke elements of textile design to residential, hospitality and workplace interiors, combining hand craftsmanship with innovative technology and custom color palettes. In the spirit of its brand ethos of luxurious yet attainable design, Knoll Luxe has made its twelve collections available to all through online ordering.
Commenting on the brand’s tenth anniversary, Cosonas said, “Knoll Luxe is a laboratory of design innovation, offering cutting-edge textiles that are accessible while pushing the limits of embellishment and weaving techniques.”
Over the past ten years, Cosonas has designed eight Knoll Luxe collections and collaborated with notable fashion designers, including Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, SUNO and Maria Cornejo. Knoll Luxe designs are included in the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum’s permanent collection; many have also won prestigious industry awards.
