Harvey Probber (1922-2003) was not only an inovative furniture designer, he was a family member - that is of course if you count my grandmother's ( Ruth Probber/Yalof/Berl) first cousin as family. Harvey Probber, born Brooklyn, New Yorkin 1944 invented modular seating. Was that vision or what? Everywhere I look I feel like I see a new twist on his brilliant work and I mean EVERYWHERE!

Your grandmother's first cousin sure counts as a relative in my book (in any book) what an amazing man, loved this post!

ReplyDeleteI bought a Harvey Probber dining room table second hand in Providence, RI thirty years ago. It opens to 120" with each insert matching/continuing the grain on the surface. I have always loved the piece but didn't understand until recently just how special it is.
