Paul Mccobb For Bryce Originals Wall Mounted Vanity Mirror
About the Item
Paul McCobb was an influential figure in mid-century American design, renowned for his timeless furniture creations and keen eye for functionality. Born in 1917 in Massachusetts, McCobb began his design career in the late 1940s, quickly rising to prominence for his distinctively modern approach.
McCobb’s design philosophy was rooted in simplicity, functionality, and accessibility. He believed that good design should be both beautiful and practical, accessible to a wide audience without sacrificing quality or style. This ethos was reflected in his furniture designs, which were characterized by clean lines, geometric forms, and meticulous attention to detail.
One of McCobb’s most iconic contributions to design was his Planner Group, introduced in the early 1950s. Comprising a range of modular furniture pieces crafted from solid maple, the Planner Group exemplified McCobb’s commitment to versatility and utility. Each piece was designed to be interchangeable and adaptable, allowing homeowners to customize their living spaces according to their needs and preferences.
In addition to the Planner Group, McCobb also designed a variety of other furniture collections, including the Directional series, which featured sleek, sculptural forms crafted from materials such as metal and glass. His designs were often influenced by the principles of European modernism, yet adapted to suit the needs and tastes of the American market.
Beyond furniture design, McCobb’s creative talents extended to interiors, textiles, and even the design of his own home. He believed in creating cohesive environments that were both aesthetically pleasing and functional, paying meticulous attention to every detail, from furniture placement to lighting and color schemes.
Throughout his career, Paul McCobb remained committed to his vision of creating timeless, accessible design. Today, his furniture designs are celebrated for their enduring appeal, cherished by collectors and design enthusiasts around the world as icons of mid-century modern style. McCobb’s legacy continues to inspire designers and homeowners alike, serving as a testament to the power of good design to enrich our lives.

Paul McCobb
You could call Paul McCobb a man of parts. As a furniture designer, his work combined the attributes of many of his now better-known peers. Like Bauhaus designers such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer, McCobb's furniture had purity of form and line. Like the designs of Florence Knoll and George Nelson and his associates, McCobb’s work was efficient and purposeful. And even like George Nakashima, he was adept at interpreting traditional forms, in particular those of chairs, for the 20th century.
More than any other designer beside Russel Wright, with his ubiquitous ceramic tableware, McCobb was arguably responsible for the introduction of modern design into middle-class American households — if for no other reason than that he designed the 1952 set for the original Today show. McCobb also designed cohesive lines of furnishings, such as his best-known Planner Group, that gave homes an instant “look.” McCobb designed for several companies, most notably Directional, the New York firm that also produced designs by other legends, such as Paul Evans and Vladimir Kagan.
The signal aesthetic attribute of McCobb designs is that he completely forsook ornament — his pieces have no flourishes. And yet, because they are honest — the chairs, desks and tables are made of solid wood, usually maple or birch, often paired with frames and legs of wrought iron; the cabinets are traditionally scaled; the seating pieces have historic antecedents such as the Windsor chair — McCobb’s mid-century modern work has warmth and presence.
As you can see from the offerings on 1stDibs, vintage Paul McCobb designs are the pin-striped suit, or the little black dress, of a décor: an essential.
