Knoll Unveils Konzert: A New Era in Private Office Design
Knoll, a prominent name in modern furniture design, recently introduced Konzert at the Clerkenwell Design Week 2026. Designed by the acclaimed Italian architect
Paolo Dell'Elce, this private office system caters to the evolving demands of contemporary workplaces. Combining precision with endless potential, Konzert is more than just a furniture collection; it's a thoughtful integration of architecture and workplace dynamics designed for versatility and aesthetic harmony.
During the event held from
May 19 to 21, Knoll showcased how Konzert anticipates future requirements through a profound understanding of design planning and market trends. Creative Director
Jonathan Olivares emphasized the importance of this innovative system by stating, "Konzert foresees future needs through a deep understanding of design planning and trends in real estate."
A Comprehensive Solution for Dynamic Workspaces
Konzert offers extensive possibilities that empower architects, designers, and dealers to craft expressive environments tailored specifically to each client's needs. The system is built around a collection of panels, desks, seating, and storage elements that can be combined in numerous complex configurations, allowing for flexible and adaptable interior layouts. This adaptability is enhanced by what Dell'Elce refers to as 'tectonic planning,' enabling items like shelves and cabinets to be designed in various heights and depths for the utmost functionality.
As Dell'Elce highlights, "It is the perfect toolkit for designers, allowing them to explore and realize their visions across various configurations."
Konzert features a broad selection of options, including various integrated lighting features and bespoke banquettes, focusing on user needs and seamless coherence throughout the design. This attention to detail is a hallmark of the Knoll philosophy of integrated design, where every element, from handles to desks and wall panels, has been intentionally crafted to ensure a unified aesthetic.
Premium Materials Elevate Spaces
Konzert transforms workspaces using a stunning array of high-quality materials, including
veneer,
Techgrain,
laminate, and
melamine available in an extensive palette. Recognizing that effective furniture design must harmonize color, material, and finish, Konzert allows architects and designers the creative freedom to adapt its components to any unique interior setting. This commitment ensures that each environment remains inspiring while delivering high performance.
The Philosophy of Total Design
Every component of Konzert has been meticulously designed concerning each other, creating a seamless visual and functional experience that embodies Knoll's philosophy of total design. The system, now available through certified dealers in the MillerKnoll network, highlights the importance of collaboration and integrated design in modern workspaces.
Visitors to the Clerkenwell Design Week could experience Konzert firsthand in a range of dedicated private office setups that highlighted different applications and design styles. The response has showcased how versatile this system can be, fulfilling the diverse needs of businesses.
