Designed by the late Paul McCobb, a pioneer of
contemporary democratic design, the Planner™ Shelving series combines his
signature graphic aesthetic with elegant expression. Named after its ability to
help shape the design of a room, the simple yet striking shelving is available
in three versions, each in varying heights and configurations. The Planner
MC500 has evenly spaced shelves and displays Paul McCobb’s signature approach
to design with simple, repeated forms, and visual transparency.

Paul McCobb |
Paul McCobb (1917-1969) was one of the leading contemporary
furniture designers on the American design scene in the 1950s and 1960s. Over a
timespan of twenty years he designed an impressive range of multi-functional
furniture, accessories and textiles, as well as several notable interior design
projects. McCobb often offered a playful take on traditional forms with hints
of Scandinavian craftsmanship and international style clarity, often made with
affordable and robust materials such as iron, solid wood and durable upholstery.
Since McCobb’s early death in 1969 his designs have not been in production, but
are now making their way back. |
