I'm just not sure who is more amazing, Florence Knoll, the subject of this short film, or the filmmaker, Lorenzo Petrantoni, who modestly calls himself "an illustrator".

To top it off, Steven Heller scored an interview with Petrantoni in which he talks about how he got this gig, his relationship to modernism, and his feelings about mini-bio-pics.
