Having studied architecture with Eliel Saarinen at Cranbrook and with Mies van der Rohe in Chicago, Florence Schust was working for Marcel Breuer and Walter Gropius when she was introduced to the charismatic businessman Hans Knoll. They married and formed Knoll Associates in 1946 when they were in their twenties.

As well as commissioning furniture from her Cranbrook colleagues she designed her own furniture, modestly calling it the fill-in pieces that nobody else was doing Eero and Bertoia did the stars. The simple, elegant design of her fill-in pieces has allowed them to stand the test of time.
