*Harvey Probber, a self-taught designer who rose to prominence in the mid-20th century, is best known for his innovative and stylish furniture. Though lacking formal training, Probber's passion for design blossomed early, leading him to sell sketches while still in high school. After founding his own company in 1945, Probber revolutionized the furniture industry by introducing the concept of modular seating, catering to the evolving needs of post-war families. His designs embodied the essence of mid-century modernism, blending clean lines and functionality with luxurious materials and pops of color. While not as widely recognized during his lifetime as some contemporaries, Probber's work is now highly collectible, a testament to his enduring influence on furniture design. less
