What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Florence Knoll Relaxed Three Seat Bench for its iconic, timeless design and exceptional build quality. Its clean lines and sophisticated aesthetic are frequently highlighted as a perfect addition to modern and classic interiors alike. Reviewers appreciate the premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship, noting the bench feels substantial and durable.

Know before you buy
The relaxed version features updated internal construction designed to provide a softer, more cushioned sit compared to the firmer, more structured feel of the original lounge collection.
Volo is a chromium-tanned, aniline-dyed leather that has been lightly corrected for a consistent appearance. It includes a breathable protective finish that makes it more durable and easier to clean than untreated leathers, while still maintaining a soft, comfortable feel.
Yes, the bench is designed for durability. The Volo leather finish is specifically chosen to withstand regular use, and the frame is built to the high standards of the Knoll collection, making it appropriate for both residential and professional settings.
Routine maintenance is straightforward; simply wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, you can use a mild, pH-balanced soap, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the protective finish.
At 56.75 inches wide, the bench is designed to accommodate three people. It is a compact, space-efficient piece, so while it fits three, it offers a more intimate seating experience than a full-sized sofa.
