Formway Design originated as Petone Engineering Company in 1956. In 1979 Petone added a design department, soon after changing its name and identity. Formway's reputation evolved into an environmentally conscious, youthful furniture design group keenly aware of its surroundings. Formway designed the highly successful Life task seating for Knoll in 2002, praised for its simplicity, minimalist, ergonomic design, environmentally friendly production and use of bold fabrics.It's latest achievement is the Generation chair that sets a new standard for task seating.

The Design

It's not a chair. It's a movement. The Generation Chair by Knoll is the first chair that lets you sit how you want. It offers a new standard or comfort and unrestrained movement, supporting the range of postures and work styles typical of today's workplace. Generation takes the idea of elastic desing - where a product rearranges itself in response to the user - to a new level. Knoll and Formway Studios joined forces to create a chair that moves as you move, without forcing you to choose between freedom of movement and continuous support.

Knoll ®:

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.

“Create form out of the nature of our tasks with the methods of our time.” – Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
