Parker Knoll: A new chapter for a British icon

For generations, Parker Knoll has been a name synonymous with comfort, craftsmanship and timeless British design. At Langton Furnishers, we’ve proudly showcased their furniture for many years, and their latest brand evolution marks an exciting moment in their long and distinguished history.

A heritage rooted in innovation

Parker Knoll’s story began in 1869, when Frederick Parker founded a small furniture business built on quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship. In the 1930s, the company joined forces with Willi Knoll, a German inventor known for pioneering the use of tension springs in seating. This partnership transformed the comfort of British furniture and set Parker Knoll on a path to becoming one of the most respected names in the industry.

Over the decades, Parker Knoll has continued to innovate — from their iconic reclining chairs to their modern collections that blend traditional upholstery skills with contemporary styling. Their commitment to British manufacturing remains at the heart of everything they do.

A fresh new look: Parker Knoll’s rebrand

This year, Parker Knoll unveiled a refreshed brand identity designed to reflect both their heritage and their future direction. The new branding brings a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic while staying true to the values that have defined the company for over 150 years.

Key elements of the rebrand include:

• A refined logo that feels modern yet classic, echoing the craftsmanship behind every piece.

• Updated colour palettes and visual styling that highlight the elegance and warmth of their collections.

• A renewed focus on storytelling, celebrating the artisans, materials and design processes that make Parker Knoll furniture so distinctive.

The rebrand isn’t about changing who they are — it’s about presenting their legacy in a way that resonates with today’s customers while honouring the generations who came before.

Why Parker Knoll continues to stand out

At Langton Furnishers, we’ve always admired Parker Knoll for their unwavering dedication to quality. Every piece is handcrafted in Nottinghamshire by skilled upholsterers who combine traditional techniques with modern precision. Their fabrics, leathers and timber frames are carefully selected to ensure durability, comfort and beauty.

Customers choose Parker Knoll because:

• Their furniture is built to last.

• Comfort is engineered into every design.

• Styles range from classic to contemporary, offering something for every home.

• British craftsmanship remains at the core of the brand.

A partnership built on shared values

As a family‑run independent business since 1945, we understand the importance of heritage, trust and craftsmanship. That’s why Parker Knoll has always been such a natural fit for our showroom. Their rebrand reinforces the qualities we value most: authenticity, quality and a commitment to creating furniture that stands the test of time.

We’re excited to showcase their refreshed collections and continue bringing Parker Knoll’s exceptional designs to homes across the region.
