Knoll Muecke Dining Table
To architect and sculptor Jonathan Muecke, material is elemental, repetition is clarity, and logic is freedom. In his first commercial collaboration with Knoll, Muecke applies the principles of his art practice to create an all-wood dining collection with the familiarity of a kitchen table and chairs. “I like to take things for what they are and not try to imagine what someone intended them to be,” explains Muecke. “Ultimately these are generous objects.”

Jonathan Muecke’s design practice makes the most out of an idea. Much like the seminal Knoll pieces by modernist designers before him, it stems from a preoccupation with materials and their presence in space. For Muecke, “it’s about seeing things, and using things, and remaking things,” he says, “not necessarily inventing things.”
The furniture and art objects he creates have a simplicity that belies the architectural and artistic theory that underpins them. By often using just a single material and by reiterating an object in various scales and proportions, Muecke’s process of reduction and abstraction functions as a kind of freedom. As a result, his work resists standard classification, instead blurring the lines between design, art and architecture.
Knoll has lived their guiding principle, "good design is good business," since 1938. Products are all created to inspire, fit, and last. The Bauhaus philosophy that furniture should complement, not compete with architecture, is central to Knoll’s design. Its extensive portfolio includes office work systems, residential mid-century modern classics, textiles, and accessories.
Designers like Harry Bertoia, Eero Saarinen, Warren Platner, Isamu Noguchi, and Florence Knoll contributed to Knoll’s iconic designs. Knoll invests in research and field studies and explores organizational behavior and technology to ensure quality excellence. As a leader in sustainability, Knoll’s practices reduce waste and conserve resources. Based in Pennsylvania, Knoll has a strong international presence, and 40 products are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
