Item 5.05. Amendments to the Registrant's Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

On December 6, 2005, the Board of Directors adopted revisions to the Company's Code of Ethics (the "Code"). The Code applies to all of the Company's directors, officers and employees, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. In particular, the Code was amended to make clear that (i) it is not a conflict of interest under the Code for a Company director to serve as an owner, employee, agent, officer or director of a customer or supplier of the Company, if such customer or supplier does less than $2 million of business with the Company annually and such business is conducted in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) it is not an impermissible appearance of a conflict of interest under the Code for an immediate family of a person covered by the Code (a "Covered Person") to work for, or maintain a relationship with, a customer or supplier of the Company, unless such a position or relationship would be a conflict of interest under the Code if it were held directly by the Covered Person. The Code was also amended to include a provision on preventing fraud.

The revised section of the Code titled "Avoid Conflicts of Interest" reads as follows:

Associates may not serve any company customer or supplier in the capacity of an employee, agent, officer or director under any circumstances, whether or not for personal profit, except with express written authorization from Human Resources. Associates may not have an ownership interest in customers or suppliers of Knoll, except for owning stock in publicly traded companies and except with the express written authorization of the Chief Executive Officer of Knoll. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a conflict of interest for a Director of Knoll to serve as an owner, employee, agent, officer or director of a Knoll customer or supplier if such customer or supplier does less than $2 million of business with Knoll annually and such business is conducted in the ordinary course of business.

The revised section of the Code titled "Avoid the Appearance of a Conflict" reads as follows:

The appearance of a conflict of interest may exist, for example, if a member of the Associate's immediate family works for a customer or supplier of the company, or if the Associate or immediate family member has an investment interest in such a customer or supplier. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be an appearance of a conflict of interest for an Associate's immediate family member to work for, or maintain a relationship with, a Knoll customer or supplier, unless such a position or relationship would be a conflict of interest under this Code of Ethics if it were held by the Associate. Nothing in this Code prohibits holding stock in publicly traded companies with which Knoll does business.

The added section of the Code titled "Preventing Fraud" reads as follows:

PREVENTING FRAUD

One of the most important goals of promoting ethical and honest behavior is to prevent fraud. Fraud can have a significant adverse effect on Knoll's market value, reputation and ability to achieve our strategic objectives.

Keys to Compliance

What is fraud?	Fraud is dishonest behavior, including theft, falsifying corporate records, kickbacks, illegal behavior and misleading reporting. This Code contains many prohibitions regarding fraudulent behavior.
We won't tolerate fraud.	Knoll's policy is to act in an honest and ethical manner. We will not tolerate fraud.
Tone at the Top	It is critical for Knoll's Directors and Officers to set the tone for proper behavior. Managers should behave ethically and openly communicate Knoll's expectations for honest and ethical behavior. Knoll will take steps necessary to prevent and detect fraud and to help ensure development of a culture that promotes honest and ethical behavior.
Communication	Knoll will periodically communicate this Code to its Associates making it available at Knoll's website. New Associates will be made aware of this Code.
Whistleblower Procedures and Ethics Hotline	Associates can report suspected fraud using the "Whistleblower Procedures" and ethics hotline at www.knoll.com

The information above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the revised Code, a copy of which is posted on the Company's website at http://www.knoll.com.
