Arthur Umanoff

Arthur Ustanoff was an American industrial designer known for its functional and affordable furniture with light, modern aesthetics. He created mainly in the 1950s and 1960s, combining wood, metal and skin into elegant, minimalist forms. He collaborated with companies such as Shaver Howard or Madison Furniture, designing chairs, tables, shelves and interior design elements. Ustanoff valued practicality, but always cared for sophisticated details and the warm nature of his projects. His works, often inspired by the style of Mid-Centure Modern, are still valued for a timeless design and light, friendly aesthetics.
