About the Item

“Van Keppel-Green was an important modernist design firm founded by Hendrik Van Keppel and Taylor Green in the late 1930s. The company operated through the early 1970s. Most of their clients were architects and designers associated with the Case Study House program. VKG has a unique look and feel to it; something is very different from their work and other designers who started after them such as Florence Knoll, Harry Bertoia, George Nelson, Charles and Ray Eames etc. It is notable that these later designers often borrowed from VKG, and Hendrik was furious at Florence Knoll for "stealing" his design for a metal framed table and chair. So many elements of VKG have been adopted by other designers that few realize what a huge impact their work has had on contemporary industrial design.”
