What is Wendell Castle famous for?
1 Answer
Wendell Castle is famous for his work as a designer. He was an American furniture maker celebrated for his experimental creations in wood and plastic. He was one of the first to create seating, lighting and tables that resembled sculpture. A founding father of the American Studio movement, Castle was known for his craftsmanship and broke new ground in the 1960s with the stack-laminate technique, which involves layering and then sanding thin sheets of wood. In the ’70s, he transitioned to using gel-coated plastic in bright colors. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Wendell Castle furniture.
