DesignerGilbert Rohde

Designer Gilbert Rohde (1894-1944) was born and raised in New York, the son of a cabinetmaker. Inspired by a trip to the Paris Exhibition in 1925, Rohde began designing furniture and his early work was sold at Lord & Taylor. An exuberant modernist, his pieces gleaned simplicity and rationalism from Bauhaus design and a sense of form and ornamentation from Art Deco. He worked predominantly in Bakelite and chrome, the materials that made up the visual vocabulary of the period.
DescriptionDuring the Great Depression, Gilbert Rhode introduced his 1930 "Z Stool".
