Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Operating Segments Operating Segments
The Company's operations are managed and evaluated around the organization and alignment of internal operations, the nature of our products, and geographical location. Effective on March 1, 2025, the last day of the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company implemented an organizational change that resulted in a change in reportable segments. The Company has restated historical results to reflect this change. As more fully described in Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, under our new reportable segments, there are three reportable segments consisting of North America Contract, International Contract and Global Retail.
The North America Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, sourcing, manufacture and sale of furniture products directly or indirectly through an independent dealership network for office, healthcare, and educational environments throughout the United States and Canada as well as the global operations of the Spinneybeck|FilzFelt, Maharam, Edelman, and Knoll Textile brands.
The International Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, sourcing, manufacture and sale of furniture products, indirectly or directly through an independent dealership network for office, healthcare, and educational environments in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
The Global Retail segment includes global operations associated with the sale of modern design furnishings and accessories to third party retailers, as well as direct to consumer sales through eCommerce, direct-mail catalogs, and physical retail stores, along with the global operations of the Holly Hunt brand.
The Company also reports a “Corporate” category consisting primarily of unallocated expenses related to general corporate functions, including, but not limited to, certain legal, executive, corporate finance, information technology, administrative and acquisition-related costs. Management regularly reviews corporate costs and believes disclosing such information provides more visibility and transparency regarding how the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews results of the Company.
The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who is regularly provided the operating results of our reportable segments and reviews the actual operating results against forecasted figures for the purposes of monitoring and assessing performance, allocating capital, and making strategic and operational decisions.
The CODM uses Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) as the key operating metric to measure segment profit or loss, evaluate the performance of the segments, analyze variances of actual performance to forecasts, and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Segment Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) represents reported Operating Earnings adjusted for restructuring charges, integration charges, amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles, impairment charges, and significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations.
The Company's CODM does not review assets by segment to assess segment performance or allocate resources, nor is such information provided to the CODM. Accordingly, the Company does not present assets by segment.
The accounting policies for each of the operating segments are the same as those of the Company described in Note 1. Additionally, the Company employs a methodology for allocating corporate costs with the underlying objective of this methodology being to allocate corporate costs according to the relative usage of the underlying resources. The majority of the allocations for corporate expenses are based on relative net sales. However, certain corporate costs generally considered the result of isolated business decisions, are not subject to allocation and are evaluated separately from the rest of regular ongoing business operations.
