Standing apart from other mid-century modernists, Vladimir Kagan was known for creating distinctive interiors and furnishings. His sinuous wooden frame designs were as much inspired by nature and antiques as the strict “purist” principles of the Bauhaus. In many ways, these iconic sofas, armchairs, tables, etc. signaled a shift into organicism, not just the late modernist Amoebic style of the 1950s and 60s, but the move toward sculpted forms championed by the Studio Movement of the 1970s and 80s: influential talents likes Wendell Castle, Wharton Esherick, and George Nakashima.
