‘Capricorn’ Lounge Chair, by Vladimir Kagan, 1950-1959
Superlatively crafted and widely alluring, Vladimir Kagan’s work can be summed up with one word, sensuality. For Kagan, comfort and visual appeal were essential, and his lines, mainly curving and seducing, created designs that wanted to be touched and experienced. Kagan shaped for his audience products that could hug and love us. Vladimir Kagan is one of our most enduring designers of modern furniture with a career that has spanned over sixty years. He started designing in 1946 and by the early fifties, his innovative sculptured designs created a new look in American furniture. Today, his sparkling creations are on the cutting edge of the 21st century. His designs are spearheading creative designs for hotels, furniture, textiles and home furnishings. The New York Times says: “Vladimir Kagan is one of the most important furniture designers of the 20th century. Furniture designed by him in the forties, fifties and sixties have become icons of Modernity and an obligatory reference to every designer. He is the creative grandfather of a whole new generation of designers.
