From the same Paul FranklPaul Frankl
American [1886 - 1958]
Paul Frankl was the first American designer to produce a totally original American furniture design with his "Skyscraper" bookcases, the success of which led him to name his company "Skyscraper Furniture". Between his early (mid 1920's) success with "Skyscraper" style furniture and his later Chinese Modern and "Speed" furniture of the 1930's, Frankl wrote books and magazine articles on the Modern Style and was its most vocal proponent. He later designed production pieces for Brown & Saltzman of California and Johnson Furniture Company of Grand Rapids, incorporating an early use of biomorphic designs and novel materials such as cork veneer. commission as the bookcase below, this American art deco occasional table shares the same features and color scheme. The table and the one above and below are one of a kind pieces Frankl designed and had constructed. The table measures 36" wide x 18" deep x 16" high.
