Paperclip table OUTDOOR Knoll International

Light-footed: Paperclip table Outdoor by Knoll

To complement the Handkerchief chair, Massimo and Lella Vignelli designed the Paperclip table. Following the curved wire frame of the chair and its visual lightness, the designers were able to transfer the essence of what made Handkerchief so elegant to the Paperclip table. So that you can also enjoy the beautiful designer table on the terrace or in the garden, it is now also available in the chic outdoor version!

The combination of white or black coated steel and glass not only makes the designer piece look simple and elegant, but also makes it a versatile and durable piece of furniture that fits well into almost any outdoor area. Thanks to its visual lightness, you can also use the Paperclip table wonderfully in your living room or office. Whether clear glass or black or white lacquered, the available colour variants guarantee a modern look for your room scenario!

Knoll International - The belief in modern design

In 1938, Knoll International was founded by Hans and Florence Knoll, who used the creative genius of the Bauhaus School and the Cranbrook Academy of Art to create new types of furniture and environments for the workplace. Their approach was to combine craftsmanship with technology through the use of design. Florence Knoll also developed the idea of the modern office and pioneered interior design.

Knoll is internationally recognised for creating workplace and home furniture that inspires, evolves and endures. With its thoughtful, inventive products, Knoll caters to individual work styles and endures for multiple generations. Knoll's commitment to modern, sustainable design and understanding of the workplace results in a unique portfolio. Here, the latest collections line up alongside modern classics and iconic products.

For more than 80 years, Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy that modern furniture should complement architectural space, not compete with it. That is why Knoll uses modern design to connect people with their work, their lives, their world. The essence of it all: modern living and working with a contemporary approach without losing touch with the past.

Modernist aesthetics: Massimo & Lella Vignelli

Massimo and Lella Vignelli both studied architecture before founding the Vignelli Office of Design and Architecture in 1960. In the 1970s, they worked as graphic and advertising design consultants for Knoll. During this time, Vignelli was commissioned by Knoll to revise the corporate identity and graphics programme. The result was the Knoll logo in Helvetica and the introduction of Pantone Super Warm Red as the corporate colour. The Vignellis' work formed the basis for all basic communication needs, including stationery, business cards, brochures and four-colour ads for trade magazines and publications such as The New Yorker, Vogue and Fortune.

In 1971, they founded their New York firm, Vignelli Associates, to focus on projects that combined their talents in industrial, furniture and graphic design. Here they apply a modernist aesthetic to every commission, polishing each artefact to a high gloss to reflect clarity, beauty and functionality. Vignelli Associates also produced two furniture designs for Knoll: the Handkerchief chair (co-designed with David Law) and the Paperclip table. Their diverse portfolio also includes corporate identity work for IBM, American Airlines and Bloomingdales, as well as signage for the New York City underground system and Washington, D.C. In 2003, the couple received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.

The base is made of welded round steel with stainless steel joints. For the frame, you can choose between white or black Rilsan. The Rilsan coating makes your Paperclip table for outdoor use particularly cold-resistant and robust and ensures low moisture absorption.
