Pardo spoke with Cook about the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus and reimagined Knoll classics. “I’m especially excited about new finishes for designs by Breuer, Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia and Warren Platner,” Pardo told AP. Cook highlighted the new metallic designs by the mid-century modern masters, in particular the Platner Collection in rose gold and the Bertoia Diamond Chair in gold.

“What Says ‘Modern’ Now?” ran in 96 of Associated Press’ markets, from Texas to Washington D.C. and the UK to California.
