 | | Lounge Chairs by Paul Frankl |
Paul T. Frankl (1886–1958), an Art Deco
furniture designer and maker from Vienna, Austria, was the son of a
wealthy real estate speculator. After Frankl completed his
architectural studies at the Berlin Polytechnic, he traveled and spent
some time in Berlin and Copenhagen before arriving in the United States
in April 1914. He settled in New York City and brought with him an
outsider’s fresh perspective and an enthusiasm for forging a uniquely
American design aesthetic. Frankl began as an architect and later
switched to designing and painting fine art and furniture. In the years
between the two world wars he, more than any other designer, helped
shape the distinctive look of American modernism.
