Cache Console
The
foundation of the Cache series, part of Paul McCobb’s extensive Planner series,
is a beautifully simplistic and easy table with slim and straight steel legs,
stripped from any details or ornament, leaving only small drawers that can be
mounted individually or grouped on either side of the table for small keepings.
The series is complimented with the matching Desk Organiser with two drawers
and a shelf supported by a steel frame.
A prominent
figure in American mid-century design, Paul McCobb conceived the Planner series
in the 1950s, a modular furniture series that brought modern design into
middle-class American households. The aesthetic attribute of McCobb’s design is
sleek and unadorned and at the same time warm and approachable. With its
versatility and purity of form, the Planner series became one of the most
successful commercial furniture lines of its era.

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. |
