Paul Frankl: American Modernist

"Paul T. Frankl (1886–1958), an Art Deco furniture designer and maker, architect, painter and writer from Vienna, Austria, was the son of a wealthy real estate speculator. After Frankl completed his architectural studies at the Berlin Polytechnic, he traveled, spending time in Berlin and Copenhagen before arriving in the United States in April 1914. He settled in New York City and brought with him an outsider’s fresh perspective and an enthusiasm for forging a uniquely American design aesthetic. Frankl began as an architect and later switched to designing and painting fine art and furniture. In the years between the two world wars he, more than any other designer, helped shape the distinctive look of American modernism". - Wikipedia 


Weisshouse proudly welcomes Paul Frankl by way of two oh-so glamorous rattan and teak side tables with a matching 5 drawer low chest. These pieces will turn any bedroom or living room into a 1930s or 1940s glamorous Hollywood film set.

American Industrial Designer, Russell Wright

It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, every piece of vintage furniture is worth a thousand words too and always has an interesting past and story to tell. A new shipment of vintage furniture has just arrived at Weisshouse and each piece is incredibly unique. One piece in particular, a small side table designed by Russell Wright is the focus of this blog.

From our website (www.weisshouse.com): Russel Wright (April 3, 1904 – December 21, 1976) was an American Industrial designer during the 20th century. Beginning in the late 1920s through the 1960s, Russel Wright created a succession of artistically distinctive and commercially successful items that helped bring modern design to the general public. Wright designed a succession of popular furniture lines for many furniture companies beginning in the early 1930s through the 1950s. His most popular line of essentially Art Deco American Modern “blonde” wooden furniture was produced by the Conant-Ball company of Gardner, Massachusetts between 1935 and 1939, and bore the branded mark “American Modern Built by Conant-Ball Co. Designed by Russel Wright.”
