Adrian
Pearsall 2011, Charles Ames 1978, his wife Ray 1988, Harry Bertoia 1978.
Arne Jacobsen 1971, George Nelson 1986, Paul McCobb 1969, Eero Saarinen 1961,
Harvey Probber 2003, just to name a few, were all iconic furniture designers
from the mid century modern and Danish modern periods. All are deceased;
their design craft has stopped. However, the excitement, energy and magic
that they created with their work lives on in each piece that survives today.
How
does such magic happen? How can a 60 year old couch, credenza, lamp or
table touch our hearts? Why do they still excite? Why do they still
energize? How do they make us feel brand new? Will our craving of
their craft ever be satiated? I hope not.
