New York
& London
Knoll
unveils its first international retail store in London and moves its New York retail store to an elegant space in
Gramercy. These new locations reflect the brand's core design
principles and demonstrate a bold new design direction for Knoll
environments—a continuation of its recently refreshed showrooms in
Chicago and Dallas. Brought to life with locally inspired
architectural elements, colors, materials, and finishes, the
London and New York presentations feature a retail space
planned as a residence and a workplace floor planned as an office.
Within these inspiring spaces, Knoll shows how both renowned
historic and newly launched designs enhance modern residential and
contract settings.
Herman Miller's new London and refreshed New York retail stores and showrooms invite
all consumers of design to experience the brand's unique
point of view on a modern way of living. Herman Miller retail
spaces are programmed as a holistic environment with offerings for
living, work, and play, while contract showrooms exemplify the
breadth of the brand's commercial portfolio and its ability to
address a wide range of architectural and occupational needs.
Curated design elements and exhibitions in each location reflect
Herman Miller's newly refreshed brand identity, rich heritage,
and pioneering approach to modern design.

private office casegoods line will also be displayed, including
recently launched enhancements. Across the floorplate, clients will
be able to discover Geiger and DatesWeiser's recently updated
