{"product_id":"no-compromise-ana-araujo-9781616899936","title":"No Compromise: The Work of Florence Knoll","description":"Florence Knoll (1917-2019) was a leading force of modern design. She worked from 1945 to 1965 at Knoll Associates, first as business partner with her husband Hans Knoll, later as president after his death, and, finally, as design director. Her commissions became hallmarks of the modern era, including the Barcelona Chair by Mies van der Rohe, the Diamond Chair by Harry Bertoia, and the Platner Collection by Warren Platner. She created classics like the Parallel Bar Collection, still in production today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKnoll invented the visual language of the modern office through her groundbreaking interiors and the creation of the acclaimed \"Knoll look,\" which remains a standard for interior design today. She reinvigorated the International Style through humanizing textiles, lighting, and accessories. Although Knoll's motto was \"no compromise, ever,\" as a woman in a white, upper-middle-class, male-dominated environment, she often had to make accommodations to gain respect from her colleagues, clients, and collaborators. \u003ci\u003eNo Compromise\u003c\/i\u003e looks at Knoll's extraordinary career in close-up, from her student days to her professional accomplishments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ana Araujo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 161689993X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616899936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton Architectural Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2021 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2022","brand":"Ana Araujo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051271090431,"sku":"9781616899936","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08bea697-24d8-47da-a271-fe460559f2ec.jpg?v=1685012098","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-compromise-ana-araujo-9781616899936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
