Walter Knoll vs Knoll  

@cawcarrot11 That is a strange question. Both companies do still (kind of) exist but have next to nothing to do with each other. Walter Knoll is a long-established German company that first flourished during the Bauhaus era. After World War II, it focused on the production of modern furniture and was eventually acquired by Rolf Benz in the 1990s. The founder of Knoll, Hans Knoll, was Walter Knoll’s son. He established his company in the United States, undoubtedly building on the intellectual legacy of his father, but ran it entirely independently. Today, Knoll is part of MillerKnoll. It's difficult to compare the two companies, as they have little in common—even in terms of their target markets.
