Knoll Furniture Resale Prices: What Pre-Owned Knoll Is Worth (2026)

Across European resale sites in October 2026, a used Knoll Barcelona chair was offered at a median of €4,995 (9 listings, €3,800 to €6,148), against new prices of €7,685 to €8,496 stated in four listings. Saarinen Tulip dining tables asked a median of €4,000 (23 listings) and Bertoia Diamond chairs €840 (15 listings). These are asking prices, not sales: at a German design auction, a Barcelona chair made €1,700 and a chair with ottoman €3,200.

What is used Knoll furniture worth?

Median asking prices for used Knoll pieces on European resale sites, early October 2026. Where a listing covered a set, we divided the price by the number of pieces.

Model	Listings	Median asking price	Asking range	New price reference
Barcelona chair	9	€4,995	€3,800–€6,148	€7,685–€8,496 (stated in listings)
Saarinen Tulip dining table	23	€4,000	€800–€13,000	€5,803 (120 cm, white marble)
Tulip side and coffee tables	14	€1,495	€1,050–€4,900	€1,612 (51 cm side table, marble)
Tulip chairs and armchairs (per chair)	13	€1,075	€390–€2,500	–
Saarinen Executive and Conference chairs (per chair)	14	€658	€312–€1,790	–
Bertoia Diamond chair	15	€840	€499–€1,150	€1,372 (chrome)
Bertoia Large Diamond chair	8	€1,575	€800–€2,400	–
Bertoia side chair	8	€425	€190–€1,200	–
Bertoia Bird chair	6	€2,450	€1,490–€4,950	–
Wassily chair	9	€1,590	€350–€2,380	–
Brno chair (per chair)	6	€533	€350–€800	–

The ranges are wide because Knoll has been made for decades. A 1960s Tulip table, a recent marble one and an oval 244 cm table are all "a Tulip table", and the asking prices reflect size, top material and age far more than the name.

Which Knoll models hold their value?

Barcelona chair

Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona chair holds its value well, at around three-fifths of the new prices stated in listings. The nine used chairs we counted asked €3,800 (a private seller in Cologne, very good condition) to €6,148 (an ex-display Relax chair at a Stuttgart retailer). Two re-covered chairs at a German dealer asked €4,899 each. A chair marked sold at the same dealer had last been listed at €5,039.

Auctions tell a more sober story. At Quittenbaum in Munich, a 1970s Barcelona chair made €1,700 (hammer price, March 2026) and a chair with ottoman carrying KnollStudio labels made €3,200 (October 2024). A vintage chair and ottoman with corroded chrome asked €2,500 from a private seller, while a chair and ottoman described as original Knoll asked €8,499. We also found several "used" Barcelona chairs that turned out to be new stock from dealers; we left those out.

Saarinen Tulip tables and chairs

Tulip dining tables are the most-listed Knoll model in our data. The median of €4,000 covers round tables from €800 (a private sale in Germany) to large oval marble tables at €8,799 (244 cm, Carrara) and €13,000. A round 120 cm table in Carrara marble asked €2,995, about half the €5,803 a European retailer charges for a new 120 cm table in white marble. Marble tops, 198 cm and 244 cm ovals, and good stone with no chips push prices up; laminate tops and table bases with chipped paint pull them down.

Tulip side and coffee tables asked a median of €1,495 (14 listings), close to the €1,612 a new 51 cm marble side table costs, partly because many of them were vintage pieces from the 1960s and 1970s. Tulip chairs and armchairs asked a median of €1,075 per chair (13 listings); sets of six swivel chairs asked €6,800 to €7,900.

Bertoia wire chairs

The Diamond chair is the easiest Knoll piece to price, because the market is deep and consistent: 15 listings between €499 and €1,150, median €840. That is 61% of the €1,372 a German retailer charges for a new chrome Diamond chair. The Large Diamond asked a median of €1,575 (8 listings) and the Bird chair €2,450 (6 listings), with a Bird and ottoman at €4,950. The simple side chair is worth far less: a median of €425 (8 listings), although a 1953 first-edition side chair asked €1,200.

Wassily, Brno and the Saarinen office chairs

Wassily chairs made by Knoll asked a median of €1,590 (9 listings). Private sellers asked €350 to €1,600; dealers asked €1,360 to €2,380. Chairs made by Gavina, which made the Wassily before Knoll, sell in the same market but we counted them separately and left them out. Brno chairs asked a median of €533 per chair, and Saarinen Executive and Conference chairs €658 per chair, often sold in sets of four.

Some models had too few comparable listings to quote a median. Only three Womb chairs were listed (€3,200 to €6,375), and the Warren Platner listings we found could not be confirmed as used, so we left Platner out.

Our own listings

Meubles Monaco currently lists two pieces of Florence Knoll seating from around 1954 to 1968, both graded from the seller's photographs:

Piece	Original price (reported by seller)	Asking price	Asking as % of original
Florence Knoll banquette sofa, pink fabric	€6,000	€2,530	42%
Pair of Florence Knoll low chairs	€7,000	€3,910	56%

Elsewhere in Europe, Florence Knoll pieces were scarce: a leather bench asked €2,000 and a marble and steel side table €1,350, too few for a median. Browse current pieces in our Knoll collection.

What affects the price of used Knoll

• Model and size. A Barcelona chair, a marble Tulip table or a Diamond chair is searched for by name. Give the exact model and, for tables, the diameter or length and the top material.
• Leather and upholstery. Barcelona cushions show creasing, fading and loose welting; Wassily straps stretch and crack. Re-covered pieces still sell well if you say who did the work and in what leather.
• Chrome and finishes. Pitted or corroded chrome is the most common reason vintage Barcelona and Bertoia pieces ask less. On Tulip tables, check the stone for chips and the base for paint damage.
• Completeness. An ottoman, matching sets of chairs and the original cushions all add value. Sets of four or six Tulip and Saarinen chairs were common in our data.
• Logistics. A 120 cm marble Tulip table weighs around 100 kg according to the retailer's specification, so mention lifts, stairs and whether the top lifts off the base.

What to look for: labels and signs of origin

Knoll designs are among the most copied in furniture, and listings for Barcelona, Tulip, Wassily and Bertoia pieces often turn out to be reproductions. Meubles Monaco does not authenticate furniture; these are the signs we suggest buyers and sellers look for.

• Labels and stamps. Look for a Knoll, Knoll International or KnollStudio label or stamp. Auction houses and dealers in our sample cited KnollStudio labels on a Barcelona chair, a KnollStudio and Eero Saarinen mark on a Tulip table, and Knoll Studio embossing on a Wassily chair.
• Paperwork. An invoice from a Knoll retailer, or a certificate supplied with the piece, is the strongest support for the price you ask.
• Materials. A current Tulip table has a cast aluminium base; a light, hollow-sounding base is worth questioning. Real stone tops vary from one table to the next.
• The wording of the listing. Words such as "style", "inspired", "replica" or the German "wie" and "Replika" appeared on listings we excluded. A Barcelona chair at a few hundred euros is almost certainly not a Knoll.
• Gavina and other makers. Some Wassily chairs were made by Gavina rather than Knoll; both can be genuine, but they should be described accurately.

If a piece carries no label and no paperwork, price it as unattributed. Our guide on how to know if designer furniture is real covers the general checks.

Pricing advice for sellers

Start from the median for your model, then adjust for condition and size. For a Barcelona chair in good leather, most asking prices in our data sat between €4,400 and €5,299, with a private seller at €3,800 and an ex-display chair at €6,148; auction results of €1,700 and €3,200 show where a quick sale can end up. For a marble Tulip dining table, €2,400 to €4,000 is a realistic band for a round table; oval tables asked €4,000 to €13,000. A Diamond chair in good order fits around €700 to €900.

Ask what we think your piece is worth on What's my furniture worth?. Selling with Meubles Monaco is simple: we grade your listing from your photos and description, buyers reserve for €25 and view the piece in your home, and at the viewing we send the buyer a payment link (bank transfer for pieces over €1,500). The piece is paid in full before it leaves your home, and you keep 85% of the sale price after our 15% commission. Across all brands on Meubles Monaco, 64% of completed sales went at the full asking price and the median time to sell was 66 days. See how selling with us works.

Advice for buyers

Ask for the model, dimensions, label photos and any invoice before you view. At the viewing, check the leather, the chrome, the stone and the base, and sit in the chair. Pieces stay in the seller's home: you reserve online for €25 and we introduce you to the seller to arrange a viewing. If you decide to go ahead, we send you a payment link at the viewing (bank transfer for pieces over €1,500), and the piece is paid in full before you collect it. We do not deliver, but we can recommend transport partners. Our condition grades are based on the seller's photographs, not an inspection. Looking for a particular Knoll model?

How we calculated these figures

European market. In early October 2026 we collected 135 used Knoll asking prices from four resale sites: Selency (87), Kleinanzeigen (31), Whoppah (12) and revive.de (5), with sellers in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands and, on Selency, other European countries that the site does not always show. We added one listing marked sold (its last listed price) and two Quittenbaum auction results (hammer prices, which exclude buyer's premium). We excluded 17 data points: listings described as new or that we found to be new stock, listings from sellers whose other listings were new stock, possible cross-listings, and titles that did not name Knoll. Where a listing covered a set, we used the price per piece. Medians of an even number of listings are the midpoint, rounded to the nearest euro. All prices were listed in euros, so no currency conversion was needed. New prices are retailer prices from Finnish Design Shop (Germany), myareadesign.com and Connox, or the new price stated in a listing, as marked. Selency makes up more than half of the sample, so the figures lean towards its sellers.

Meubles Monaco. Our own Knoll figures are the two current listings above; original prices are reported by sellers and not independently checked. Marketplace figures (64% of completed sales at full asking price, median 66 days to sell) cover all brands, with listings from March 2025 and completed sales from April 2025 to early October 2026.
