Knoll's Dividends Skyline Revolutionizes the Modern Workplace Experience
Knoll's Transformative Launch of Dividends Skyline at Fulton Market Design Days 2025
On June 9, 2025, Knoll, a leader in innovative workplace solutions, showcased its latest offering—Dividends Skyline—at the highly anticipated Fulton Market Design Days. This new system embodies a forward-thinking approach to office environments, combining flexibility, privacy, and collaboration into an elegant, cohesive design. With the recent shift in how we utilize office spaces, Knoll's Dividends Skyline serves as a timely response to emerging workplace dynamics.
Evolving Office Spaces: A Need for Change
As companies adjust to reduced floor plans and increased demands for privacy, Knoll has reimagined their office designs to incorporate a variety of workstation boundaries that cater to diverse client needs. The Dividends Skyline system features sleek veneer and laminate screens, providing both architectural sophistication and functional privacy. Unique cubby designs enhance visual order, while open shelves introduce a sense of lightness to spaces.
Design Features and Functional Benefits
Dividends Skyline goes beyond aesthetics. This new system offers various boundary typologies that strike a balance between visibility and acoustic privacy. Employees can enjoy both private retreats for focused work and collaborative environments for casual interactions. The innovative Skyline Lounge is a prime example of this approach, allowing for informal gatherings without sacrificing privacy within smaller office spaces.
Architect Jonathan Olivares underscores the current demand for office environments that promote collaboration and hospitality, affirming that Dividends Skyline delivers “a first-class experience” within the constraints of today’s workplace realities.
A Comprehensive Collection for Every Workspace
Designed to serve all levels of an organization—from associates to C-suite executives—Dividends Skyline includes an extensive range of workstations and seating options. This versatile collection allows seamless adaptability to various styles of work. Further enhancing its appeal, Knoll introduces 18 new veneer options and a palette of ultra-matte laminates. The new metallic finishes in hues like champagne and bronze allow for tasteful tone-on-tone combinations, providing architects and designers with a visually harmonious aesthetic.
Thoughtful Design to Enhance Work Culture
The integration of upholstered seating and customizable panels in matching fabrics creates an inviting atmosphere that resonates with a company’s culture. Knoll’s commitment to “total design” is evident in the collection's meticulous details, such as mitered panel corners and gapless connections, which minimize visual distractions and enhance the overall workspace experience.
New Showroom Experience: A Testament to Total Design
Alongside the launch of Dividends Skyline, Knoll's Chicago showroom at 1100 West Fulton Market embodies the essence of a truly cohesive workplace. Designed as a complete landscape of work options, this space greets visitors with hospitality-oriented lounge areas and seamlessly transitions into dynamic workstations and private offices.
Architect Pernilla Ohrstedt elaborates on the showroom's design, emphasizing its reflective features that resonate with modern high-rise office aesthetics. This meticulous design approach showcases the spectrum of possibilities for office spaces tailored to today’s fast-paced work environment.
Availability and Future Prospects
Dividends Skyline will be available for purchase from MillerKnoll dealers by late Winter 2025, marking Knoll’s continued innovation in addressing the needs of modern workplaces. As they introduce this versatile system, Knoll reinforces their leadership in providing not just furniture, but comprehensive design solutions that enhance productivity and work culture.
As we look toward the future of workplace design, Knoll's Dividends Skyline promises to set the standard for creating adaptable, beautifully designed office environments that meet the needs of contemporary professionals.
