Dimensions: 30.25”H x 47.75”L x 18”D About the Designers: KIPP STEWART & STEWART MACDOUGALL both emerged from the California modernist movement of the mid 20th century. They pooled their talents in the late 1950s to design a line of modern domestic furnishings in natural walnut for the DREXEL Furniture Company—'Declaraton'. KIPP STEWART is a celebrated American architect, designer, and painter. He was born in Pittsburgh in 1928 and sent off at a young age to live with distant relatives in California. Destiny sealed a future in design for Stewart at age 15 when, while hitchhiking to school in Los Angeles one day, he fell in love with the pencilled industrial drawings that were displayed in a storefront window on Melrose Avenue. He refused a track and field scholarship at USC in order to enroll at the Chouinard Art Institute in the late 1940s. In addition to furniture design, Stewart's passion for the arts has led to notable works in painting, photography, and architecture. The Ventana Inn in Big Sur is his most widely-known architectural project. Stewart’s landscape paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries in major cities, including MoMA. He still paints today. STEWART MACDOUGALL was born in 1927 in Pasadena. He attributes his fascination with design to growing up in house built by prominent architect brothers Charles S. and Henry M. Greene. MacDougall overcame early learning disabilities while attending Miss Orton's Classical School for Girls, which was run by his mother. After a brief stint in the Navy, he attended the Chouinard Art Institute. He then went to work for Victor Gruen Associates where the principal designer, architect Rudolf Baumfeld, a student of Le Courbusier's, became his mentor. This association cemented MacDougall's design aesthetic. A striving for simple line without fussiness is clearly apparent throughout his work, whether in furniture, sailboats, golf equipment...
