KNOLL ASSOCIATES INCORPORATED 601 MADISON AVE. NEW YORK 22 TELEPHONE TRAFALGAR 9-8200 CABLE KNOLLET NEW YORK October 25, 195O Mr I G. Rietveld c/o Goed Wonen Rok 1 n 56 Amsterdam, Netherlands Dear Mr. Rietveld: We have noticed with interest the chair on page lliO of the Prijsvraag number of Goed Wonen . It shows great possibility for production and we are interested in getting the rights to this chair or at least work- ing out some arrangement whereby we would make experimental models in this country to see if it is suitable for mass production. as you know, we always pay royalties and g i v e complete credit to the designer in any resulting publicity. our arrangements have been satisfactory w i th our long list of international designers, and we feel they would probably be satisfactory with you. i would like to say at this time that it may not be possible in the future to make things of metal so that we cannot guarantee you production. however, we must move ahead as much as possible no matter what the world s ituat i on is. we wish to compliment you on this design and hope that mutually satisfactory arrangements can be arrived at. please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in our proposal. we would, of course, want to have exclusive rights to the design. YOURS VERY TRULY, KNOLk ASSOCIATES,,ING FSK/jc Planning Unit
