The collaboration between Lord Norman Foster, the world famous architect, and Walter Knoll dates back to the redesigning of the Reichstag in Berlin. Today, the lobby armchairs and sofas are modern classics. A rigid chrome framework and the geometric leather surfaces floating precisely above are their unmistakable hallmarks.

Norman Foster is one of the most successful architects of our time. His buildings have established standards for intelligent, extraordinary architecture all over the world. The Briton has won the Pritzker prize and the Gold Medal for Architecture of the American Institute of Architects and has been honoured by the Queen with the title Lord Foster of Thames Bank.
Norman Foster and Walter Knoll first started working together when it came to furnishing the Reichstag Building in Berlin. Since then, several lines have been created with Foster symbolising the synthesis of architecture and furnishing, including the Foster 500 sofas and armchairs.

Walter Knoll clearly professes to sustainable economic activity. Thinking ecologically, acting responsibly and sustainably – a philosophy they live and breathe in the company and always have. One important aspect is enduring design quality. Durability applies not only to the appearance but also to the material.
Minimalist and timeless design is sustainable design. Because the use of natural materials, the minimal use of resources and aesthetic durability are characteristic of our design and architecture. This is how durability becomes ecology – even at the early stage of the draft. With their permanent, tested quality, our products are quite genuinely companions for life – not just for years but for decades.
