Florence Knoll studied architecture at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan before the going on to study at the Architectural Association in London and the Armour Institute in Chicago. After working briefly for Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and Wallace K. Harrison, Knoll went on to form Knoll Associates with husband and fellow designer Hans Knoll.
