Collection: Paul McCobb

Meet the realist and perfectionist - in personality as well as in his designs

When it came to design he was completely selftaught but his profound understanding of perspective paved the way for his emerging career as one of the most important designers of the time. Perspective and scale in particular became a trademark for Paul McCobb, whose tables, shelves and even lamps were the result of meticulous attention to the room the design would inhabit. Thin lines, simplicity of form and a distinct lightness characterise the works of McCobb. He was a realist and a perfectionist and his design pieces are a clear reflection of his personality.
