Samuel Abraham Marx (1885-1964) was an American architect, designer and interior decorator. He is generally considered a modernist, influenced by the International style.

Marx graduated from MIT’s Department of Architecture in 1907. As an architect, Marx designed stripped-down buildings reminiscent of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s works. Marx was respected for his aesthetic, architectural furnishings that seamlessly integrated with the design of his buildings

Samuel Marx is among the makers featured in Todd Merrill’s book Modern Americana: Studio Furniture from High Craft to High Glam (Rizzoli; expanded edition, 2018), the first full survey of American studio furniture. Signed copies are available from the gallery.
