In addition to showcasing Kagan’s indelible impact on postwar American design, this third reissue of Vladimir Kagan: A Lifetime of Avant-Garde Design offers an intimate look at the late designer, with firsthand accounts of his life and work through the eyes of his longtime apprentice and protégé, Chris Eitel.
Designer
Vladimir Kagan
Vladimir Kagan pioneered the enduring voice of midcentury modern design. A designer of not simply furniture but what he called “vessels to hold the human body,” Kagan joined the portfolio in 2016, personally entrusting his legacy to HOLLY HUNT. Kagan’s designs radiate his vitality and passion for discovery. Born in Worms, Germany in 1927, he emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 11, just before the dawn of WWII. From his father’s repeated admonishment “Ehre das Handwerk!” (“Honor the handcraft!”), Vladimir inherited an appreciation of artisan skill which, combined with his innovative design sensibility, was key to his success.
