About T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings
T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings was the epitome of mid-century chic, celebrated for his sleek, Grecian-inspired designs that redefined modern luxury. Most famously associated with his work for the Widdicomb Furniture Company in the 1950s, he created pieces that embodied effortless elegance and timeless simplicity. His designs often drew inspiration from classical antiquity, yet they seamlessly harmonized with the clean lines and organic forms of the mid-century era.
While Robsjohn-Gibbings set the bar high, he wasn't the only visionary crafting iconic designs for Widdicomb and beyond. The period also saw George Nakashima unveiling his Origins collection, where natural forms met impeccable craftsmanship. Designers like Tommi Parzinger, Paul Frankl, and Edward Wormley were also making waves, infusing their own unique perspectives into the mid-century modern movement. Together, these luminaries shaped an era of design that continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike. -
