Meet The Designer
Marc Krusin
Marc Krusin was born in London in 1973. He graduated in the UK and after placements with Fred Scott and George Sowden, he began his career in Milan collaborating as a designer with various studios. These include Piero Lissoni’s office, where he is presently design manager and runs projects for clients of international reputation such as Alessi, Kartell, Flos, Thonet, Wella, Fritz Hansen and Knoll.
In 1998 he co-founded the Milan based group Codice 31 with five other designers from diverse backgrounds. The group’s first appearance was at the 1998 Milan furniture fair’s “Salone Satellite” exhibition for young designers and in successive years it enjoyed continual expansion and gained an increasing importance in the design world, collaborating with some of the sector’s most prestigious companies.
Since 2004 he has collaborated with Omnidecor and in 2006 a series of Marc’s decorations for float glass were commercialised marking the beginning of a close working relationship which led to an entire new product image and presentation concept designed by Marc for the company.
Marc has continued to design furniture, products, exhibitions and spaces for well-known companies in the design industry.
Know the brand
Knoll
An item becomes classic when it changes the history of its time and continues to be modern at any time. Knoll’s history came from the birth of the Modern Movement and its protagonists; the idea of innovation combined with tradition; and the capacity to create highly versatile pieces that meet personal tastes and age trends.
Knoll stands at the forefront of mid-century modern and modern classic design, shaping interiors with pieces that feel both iconic and enduring. From the sculptural Barcelona Chair to the innovative Wassily Chair, and modern staples like the Saarinen Tulip Table and Florence Knoll Sofa, each design reflects the brand’s commitment to clarity, proportion and lasting craftsmanship. For those who appreciate timeless furniture with a strong architectural presence, Knoll remains one of the most influential names in modern design.
