Flugzeug Mbel : So prevailing and iconic are the male influences on the ultra modern twentieth century designer furniture that most of us are totally unaware of the women folks contribution to modern designer furniture designs at this time. Unless researched and studied in great depth, you will be presently forgiven for even thinking that women modern furniture designers were everything how ever non-existent.

To perish and dispel this myth, we could explore the works of various out standing women ultra modern furniture designers - Eileen Gray is one such female. All throughout her designing career, which began around the year of 1913, she had several strings to her bow, mastering several styles, crafts and mediums. Her creative designer furniture depicted her vibrant personality, all though her style changed when ever she progressed. Her exhilarating Bibendum armchair, designed around the year 1920 exclusively for a milliner, is one of the most excellent pieces of designer furniture of the twentieth century.

Its back and side arm rests are one, formed out of 2 semi-circular padded tubes, upholstered in very soft full grain pure leather. This is stitched into a round padded cushion and upholstered in the same plain colored genuine leather. No frame is externally visible up to this point - when ever the well polished, chromium plated, stainless steel metal tubing, which is used as a support, comes into evidence. Eileen Gray named this traditional piece of designer furniture as Bibendum, through an alleged model inspiration derived from the Michelin tyre promotional character.

Florence Knoll, formerly known as Florence Schust, played quite an ironic role in the building illustrious and modernist designer furniture as well. Her spouse, Hans Knoll, carefully listened to her creative ideas and reasoning and even started centering on designers furniture and interior designing, since she advised - his architectural business had taken a down turn owing to the war.

Knoll straightly believed that architects can adapt to their craft, background and talents in furniture designing. This was quite evident from her ground breaking accomplishments.

The sublime and minimalist Knoll Lounge collection, developed and designed in the year 1954, irrefutably belongs to the pantheon of designer furniture from the modernist furniture movement. With its sleek and straight lines, each and every perfectly square unit was developed and produced in a genuine leather choice with leather-covered buttons, or cloth fabrics sans buttons. With an exposed tubular heavy-gauge steel legs and base available in polished and brushed chrome, this timeless and charismatic collection included a sofa, a chair and a bench, the latter two 2 pieces both of them crafted in two seated and three seated choices.
