Projects by Name

In 1953, Hans Knoll asked Breuer to design the Brussels furniture showroom for Knoll Associates. Constantin Brodzki oversaw the implementation of Breuer's designs. Breuer defined smaller spaces within the L-shaped showroom through the use of plywood panels. Fabrics were to be hung from the spokes of a circular display feature. Other decorative features included a perforated teak screen, a mirrored wall and a photo mural that combined the reclining figure of Adam from the Sistine Chapel and a variety of animals, including an octopus, goat and cobra. Sailboat hardware was used throughout the showroom.
