T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings Restored ‘Klini’ Chaise Lounge in Walnut and Leather

Terence Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings (1905–1976) was a British-born architect and furniture designer. In the late 1930s and 1940s, he was the most important decorator in America. After opening a shop on New York’s Madison Avenue in 1936, Robsjohn-Gibbings proceeded to design houses from coast to coast for major patrons including tobacco heiress Doris Duke, Alfred A. Knopf, and Thelma Chrysler Foy. In the 1960s, he became designer to Aristotle Onassis. T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings’ style is hallmarked as a modern mixture of the classical elements of Ancient Grecian design and Art Deco design. His sculptural, sparse, elegant furnishings achieve his trademark brand of modern historicism.
