Fun Historical Fact
Vladimir Kagan was a pioneering American furniture designer celebrated for his sculptural forms and innovative approach to modern furniture. Throughout the mid-20th century, his designs challenged traditional furniture construction by combining organic curves with functional simplicity.

Today, Kagan's furniture remains highly regarded by collectors and interior designers for its enduring elegance and artistic character.

The Restoration Record

Everything we touched, and everything we left alone

Sixty-four hours of bench time by two craftsmen in our Hyperion Avenue workshop. Period-correct methods and materials throughout.

Frame fully disassembled, joints cleaned of old glue and re-set with hide glue. One rear stretcher replaced with salvaged period teak, grain-matched.

Stripped by hand, sanded through 120/180/240/320 grit, then three coats of Danish oil cut back between coats. No lacquer, no filler, no stain.

New jute webbing over the original beech rails; horsehair and natural latex pad; Kvadrat wool bouclé in undyed oat.

Maker's stamp, original brass fittings and the patina on the arm caps, the marks that prove the piece lived.
