We love today’s mystery Mid-Century Modern Designer for a lot of reasons. The simple and curvy designs reflect a transition between traditional furniture pieces and sleeker modern pieces, and we love that natural elements and plush materials are incorporated. Need more clues? You got it:
- Had the distinction of designing one of the first chairs to be manufactured by Knoll.
- His most iconic furniture piece is constructed of a birch frame and surplus parachute straps.
- Born in Copenhagen, Denmark on May 8, 1916.
Can you guess who this Mid-Century Modern Designer is?
