Knoll (verb)
Knolling is the process of arranging related objects in parallel or 90-degree angles as a method of organization.
== Origin ==
The term was first used in 1987 by Andrew Kromelow, a janitor at Frank Gehry's furniture fabrication shop. At the time, Gehry was designing chairs for Knoll, a company famously known for Florence Knoll's angular furniture. Andrew Kromelow would arrange any displaced tools at right angles on all surfaces, and called this routine ''knolling'', in that the tools were arranged in right angles—similar to Knoll furniture.〔Fleming, J. (2007). Logjam. (pp. 11). Des Moines: Des Moines Art Center.〕 The result was an organized surface that allowed the user to see all objects at once.
The American sculptor Tom Sachs spent two years in Gehry's shop as a fabricator and adopted use of the term from Kromelow. Nowadays, knolling is integral to his process.〔Celant, G. (2006). Tom Sachs. (pp. 47). Milan: Fondazione Prada.〕 Sachs adopted the phrase "Always be Knolling" (abbreviated as ABK) as a mantra for his studio (in direct reference to Blake's infamous "Always be Closing" in Glengarry Glen Ross), which he expands on in his 2009 studio manual, ''10 Bullets'':
BULLET II: ALWAYS BE KNOLLING (ABK)
# Scan your environment for materials, tools, books, music, etc. which are not in use.
# Put away everything not in use. If you aren't sure, leave it out.
# Group all 'like' objects.
# Align or square all objects to either the surface they rest on, or the studio itself.
Knolling is present in Sachs' oeuvre in pieces like ''Hardcore'', a cabinet filled with objects neatly arranged at right angles. He has also had a long-time obsession with Knoll furniture, most evident in pieces like ''Knoll Loveseat and End Table'' (currently at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) and ''Barcelona Pavilion'', both full-scale replicas of Knoll furniture by the same name.
