10.7.09 | New York, NY | This fall season, Knoll, a leading designer and manufacturer of branded furniture and textiles recognized for innovation and modern design, will present two exhibitions in the gallery of the Williams Tower in Houston, TX, from September 24 through October 30.

The Furniture of Eero Saarinen: Designs for Everyday Living, the first exhibit devoted solely to the furniture designs of Eero Saarinen, will be presented outside the entrance to the Knoll Houston showroom. The show includes a timeline of the architect's career supplemented by archival pieces from the Knoll Museum in East Greenville, PA, as well as furniture currently in production by Knoll. The exhibit was originally organized by the Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA) in February 2008 and subsequently traveled to the Virginia Center for Architecture (VCA) in Richmond, Virginia and the Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis.

The second exhibition, titled Andrew Moore: Selected Works, presents a selection of large-scale landscape photographs by noted photographer Andrew Moore. Mr. Moore was previously commissioned by the World Monuments Fund (WMF) and Knoll to photograph buildings for the exhibit, Modern Solutions for Saving Modern Landmarks.

A project of the WMF Modernism at Risk program, which was created in 2006 with founding support from Knoll, Modern Solutions consists of large-format photographs by Mr. Moore and interpretive panels with five case studies that explore the role designers play in preserving Modern landmarks. The exhibition will travel to design schools and other venues across the US, beginning with the University of Florida's College of Design, Construction and Planning, where it will be on view September 8-24.

The Furniture of Eero Saarinen: Designs for Everyday Living and Andrew Moore: Selected Works will be on view September 24 ­ October 30:
