Floating on air

In the late 1960s, Vladimir Kagan began experimenting with Lucite, an ultra-versatile material that was having a moment, thanks to the space-age trend. Within the curved frame floats a minimal upholstered seat, engineered so as not to detract from the design’s lightness. Combining the curvaceous shapes now synonymous with the brand, the Lotus Chair is a perfect example of an iconic Kagan design from this period.

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.
