Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Karl Springer (1931-1991) created custom designs with superb craftsmanship and extreme attention to detail. Though he based his designs on European classical forms, Springer developed an irreverent and non-doctrinaire idiom of bold proportions and highly exotic finishes. His iconic work speaks with the confidence and energy of the 1970s and now finds new relevance in the world of contemporary design.  Not only an accomplished maker, Springer was an avid traveler and collector. He procured of exotic objects and textiles which he would incorporate into his designs and sell at his celebrated showrooms.
