ABOUT THE DESIGNER::
Samson Berman was one of the leading lights of modern interior design during the 1950s, championed by such luminaries of good taste such as Betty Pepis (NYT Home Editor) who featured and promoted Berman’s designs throughout the 1950’s in The New York Times. Pepis featured the home this piece was designed for in her quintessential design book Interior Decoration A to Z published in 1965 on pg. 221.
Berman’s work can be quite difficult to find because his firm, Berman & Assoc., specialized in custom designing home furnishings for select clients and never mass produced or licensed out their designs to manufacturers. Custom pieces by a designer done for specific clients, can either be very “safe” or radical. Berman’s designs were on the cutting edge of modern design in the 1950’s and his client sought him out for his dynamic and beautiful aesthetic. (info taken from modern armada)
