About the Manufacturer:
Brown-Saltman Furniture was created from collaboration between designer Paul Frankl and furniture manufacturer David Saltman. Frankl rose to fame in the 1930s with beloved rattan furniture, also becoming known for his Art Deco furniture that evoked a city skyline. Saltman was based in Los Angeles and specialized in furniture reproductions at the time of the pair’s chance meeting. Saltman asked Frankl to collaborate on a furniture line which was released in 1941, exceeding expectations and becoming a categorical hit. The two simplified the designs and prepared for mass production, which was an even bigger success than the initial line. In 1942, Frankl and Saltman signed a contract for continuation of their collaboration. Tragedy struck the very next day as Saltman was killed in a car accident. World War II disrupted production shortly thereafter, and Brown-Saltman dissolved by 1960. Other prominent designers, such as Paul Laszlo and Van Keppel-Green, also were a part of the Brown-Saltman story. A sideboard was featured in the Museum of Modern Art’s Good Design exhibition in 1950, helping solidify their legacy.
Van Keppel-Green was an industrial design firm founded by Hendrik Van Keppel and Taylor Green, both California natives born in 1914. VKG, as they were known, was a pivotal part of the then-revolutionary concept of indoor/outdoor furniture, with the rising popularity of blending indoor and outdoor spaces in architecture. VKG focused on the needs of the people, and emphasized custom products to ensure that all needs were met. The pair was quite inventive, coming before many iconic designers who replicated some of their more impactful concepts. VKG was at the forefront of the “clean line” frontier, and a commonly forgotten part of truly revolutionary furniture design.
The convergence of these forces represents the modernization and industrialization of furniture design and manufacturing in the mid 20th century. Although certainly replicated, these pieces of furniture and the minds that created them could be considered the blueprint for clean lined, modern home furniture.

Mid Century Bird Chair by HARRY BERTOIA (1915-1978) for KNOLL
Designed by Harry Bertoia (1915-1978) for Knoll Studios, this Bird Chair displays great mid century modern appeal. The Bird Chair features a wire frame with sled style legs that supports a comfortable seat and back and serves as an astounding study in space, form, and function.
About the Designer:
Harry Bertoia (1915-1978) was born in San Lorenzo, Italy on March 10, 1915. Presented the opportunity to move to Detroit at age 15, Bertoia moved to America and lived with his older brother, Oreste. In 1937, he received a scholarship to study at the Cranbrook Academy of Art where he encountered Ray and Charles Eames and Florence Knoll for the first time. A gifted artist who dabbled in jewelry making, sculpture, and furniture design, Bertoia introduced his collection for Knoll in 1952, which included the famous diamond chair: a fluid, sculptural form made from a welded lattice work of steel. In Bertoia’s own words, “If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them.” Bertoia died in Barto, Pennsylvania, at the age of 63 in 1978.
