Exhibit 99.1

Knoll, Inc. Announces New Credit Facility and Updated Dividend Policy

EAST GREENVILLE, PA, September 6, 2005--Knoll, Inc. (NYSE: KNL) today announced
that it has entered into a fully underwritten commitment letter with UBS Loan
Finance LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Bank of America N.A. and Banc of America
Securities LLC, which provides for a $450 million credit facility, a portion of
which would be used to repay the indebtedness under Knoll's existing credit
facilities. The closing of the refinancing is subject to the satisfaction of
various conditions.

Under the new credit facilities, among other things, (i) the new term loan would
mature in seven years, (ii) the new revolving credit agreement would expire in
five years, (iii) interest rates would be lower as compared to the existing
Knoll credit facilities, (iv) financial covenants would be reset and (v)
although the new credit facilities continue to impose restrictions on Knoll's
ability to pay dividends, Knoll would be permitted to pay dividends in greater
amounts than under its existing credit facilities.

Dividend Policy

In addition, Knoll announced that, subject to the closing of the refinancing,
its Board of Directors currently intends to declare and pay quarterly dividends
of $0.10 per share on its common stock -- double its current quarterly dividend.

Andrew B. Cogan, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our strong financial
performance has put us in position to enter into a new and improved credit
facility which will reduce our borrowing costs and increase the cash we return
to shareholders in the form of increased quarterly dividends."

This proposed change in dividend policy will not affect Knoll's previously
announced $0.05 per share cash dividend for the third quarter of 2005, which is
payable September 30, 2005 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2005.

The declaration and payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of the
Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including Knoll's net income,
financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors
deemed relevant by Knoll's Board of Directors. Knoll's ability to pay dividends
on its common stock will depend upon, among other things, Knoll's level of
indebtedness at the time of the proposed dividend and whether Knoll is in
compliance with its then existing credit facilities.
