Husband and wife team Massimo and Lella Vignelli served as graphic and advertising design consultants to Knoll during the 1970s. They championed a graphic design for Knoll which continues to inform the company's work to this day. The Vignellis have collaborated on myriad projects which assimilate their formidable collective talent in industrial, furniture and graphic design. Their New York firm, Vignelli Associates, applies a Modernist aesthetic to each assignment, polishing each artifact to a glossy finish that reflects clarity, beauty and functionality. In 2003, the couple received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.
The Design The PaperClip Table pays loving homage to one of the world's most inspired designs, fashioning a clever base of metal rods with round and square tops that mimic the paper clip's distinctive shape. These tables are designed to complement the Vignelli Handkerchief Chair and are ideal for a range of residential and business applications, including outdoor use. The tops come in both round and square shapes and in three sizes, and both tops and base are available in a variety of finishes to suit a number of needs.

With a long history of design innovation for the home, workplace, and in textiles, Knoll continues to play a large part in the foundations of Modern Design. Founded in 1938 by Hans Knoll and continued after his death by his wife Florence Knoll, the company has produced a long line of award-winning and museum worthy designs from virtually every top designer in modern design.
Knoll believes good design is good business. Since its founding, Knoll has been recognized as a design leader worldwide, with products exhibited in major art museums spanning the globe, and more than 40 pieces in the permanent Design Collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Legendary designs such as the Womb Chair, the Tulip Chair, and the Barcelona Lounge Chair and Ottoman are instantly recognizable icons of the company.
In addition to Knoll’s commitment to design, Knoll is an industry leader in environmentally responsible practices. All manufacturing facilities in North America are ISO 14001-certified, and all Knoll architecture and design managers are required to attain LEED® Professional Accreditation, a rating system of the US Green Building council that is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance sustainable buildings.
