Vladimir Kagan (1927-2016) Metal Garden “Capricorn” Chaise Lounge, circa 1950-1959, in green paint with second cushion designed by Vladimir to the exact original specifications.
Height 27.75 in. Length 70.75 in. Width 25.75 in.
Vladimir Kagan (1927-2016) born in Germany, grew up in the United States where his father opened a cabinet shop. Later, Kagan joined the family business. Here the designer experiments with organically sculpted wood in works that become the hallmarks of his career. Kagan himself explains that his father always said ‘measure three times and cut once’ whereas Kagan did exactly the opposite. Kagan’s furniture has the extraordinary ability to completely change the landscape of the room even it is with one single object. Kagan’s work looks truly original, even up to today.
