Configurator Traversal

Execute JavaScript to iterate through every fabric grade, leather option, and frame finish combination to capture accurate SKUs and pricing.

Dimension & Spec Mining

Capture width, depth, height, seat height, and weight metrics for every product variant.

Designer Profiles

Extract biographies, historical context, and associated product portfolios for all featured designers.

Asset URL Aggregation

Collect links for high-resolution images, CAD files, Revit models, and PDF tear sheets.

Under the hood

Handling Knoll's technical architecture

Knoll relies on modern frontend frameworks and complex state machines for their product configurators. Here is how we extract the data.

JavaScript Rendering
Full Playwright execution for configurators

Knoll's product pages are highly dynamic. Selecting a fabric grade updates the price, SKU, and image via JavaScript. We use Playwright to systematically click through these options and capture the resulting state.

Variant Matrix
Handling combinatorial explosion

A single chair might have 5 frame finishes and 50 fabric options, resulting in 250 variants. Our crawlers map these dependencies and iterate through valid combinations without missing data.

Asset Discovery
Extracting hidden CAD and PDF links

Technical documents and 3D models are often gated behind specific UI interactions or buried in JSON payloads. We intercept network requests to extract these URLs directly.

Rate Limiting
Residential proxy rotation

Iterating through thousands of configurator states generates significant traffic. We route requests through US-based residential proxies to distribute the load and prevent IP blocks.

Schema Stability
Resilient extraction logic

We target stable data attributes and internal API endpoints rather than fragile CSS classes, ensuring your pipeline survives routine website updates.

Applications

Who uses Knoll data

Teams across industries use knoll.com data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
Interior Design Platforms

Aggregators and design software companies ingest Knoll catalogues to populate their 3D planning tools and material libraries.

02
Competitor Pricing

Commercial furniture manufacturers monitor Knoll's base pricing and fabric grade modifiers to inform their own pricing strategies.

03
B2B Procurement

Enterprise procurement teams track specifications and lead times across multiple manufacturers to optimise office fit-outs.

04
AR/VR Asset Libraries

Spatial computing companies extract CAD files and dimension data to build accurate 3D models of iconic furniture.

05
Sustainability Tracking

ESG compliance platforms aggregate environmental product declarations and material certifications across the design industry.

06
Dealer Inventory Management

Authorised dealers sync their internal systems with Knoll's latest SKUs, discontinued items, and collection updates.

Why DataFlirt

"Knoll's product configurator generates hundreds of thousands of valid finish and fabric combinations. Extracting this requires executing the JavaScript state machine, not just parsing HTML."

Furniture scraping is notoriously complex due to nested variant matrices. A single lounge chair has dozens of fabric grades and frame finishes. DataFlirt traverses these configurator states using Playwright, capturing every valid SKU, price modifier, and specification sheet without triggering rate limits or relying on manual data entry.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the Knoll pipeline

Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.

ScrapyPlaywrightPython 3.12RedisPostgreSQLApache AirflowAWS LambdaS3CloudWatch2CaptchaCapSolverResidential ProxiesDockerKubernetesGrafanaPrometheus
Scrapy + Playwright Stack

Scrapy handles crawl orchestration and deduplication. Playwright manages the complex JavaScript state required to navigate Knoll's product configurators.

Configurator State Machine

Custom traversal logic maps the dependencies between fabric grades and finishes, ensuring we capture all valid permutations without redundant requests.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines run on Kubernetes. Airflow handles scheduling, dependency management, and SLA alerting. All state is stored in managed Postgres.

Common questions.

About knoll.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Knoll legal?

Scraping publicly available information from Knoll is generally permissible under applicable law. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated product, pricing, and designer data. We do not extract personal data, circumvent authentication walls, or access trade-only pricing without authorisation. Clients should review Knoll's ToS and consult legal counsel for specific use cases.

How do you handle the complex product configurators?

We use Playwright to execute the JavaScript on Knoll's product pages. Our scripts systematically select each fabric grade, leather type, and frame finish, waiting for the DOM to update the price and SKU before recording the data.

Can you download the CAD files and PDF tear sheets?

We extract the direct URLs for all available assets, including high-resolution images, DWG files, Revit models, and PDFs. We can deliver these URLs in the dataset or configure a separate pipeline to download and store the files in your S3 bucket.

Do you capture trade or dealer pricing?

By default, we capture the public retail pricing displayed on the site. Extracting trade-specific discounts requires valid authentication credentials, which falls outside our standard managed service for public data.

How often can you refresh the catalogue data?

For a catalogue of Knoll's size, we typically run weekly or monthly refreshes to capture new product launches, discontinued items, and price adjustments. More frequent runs can be configured for specific categories if required.

How do you map products to collections and designers?

We extract the relational metadata present on the product and designer pages, ensuring that every product record includes its parent collection and associated designer IDs for easy database joining.
