Harvey Probber
Harvey Probber (September 17, 1922 – February 16, 2003) was an iconic American furniture designer who is credited with inventing sectional, modular seating in the 1940s. A "pioneer in the application of modular seating,”〔Stanley Abercrombie, George Nelson: The Design of Modern Design (1955), p. 321.〕 many of his ideas have been adopted by other designers.
== Early life and education ==
Harvey Probber was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1922. While attending Samuel J. Tilden High School, he took a part-time job in a used-furniture store, and was inspired to try his hand at drawing ideas for furniture. Probber sold his first sofa design when he was just 16, for $10.〔Harvey Probber, interviews with Judith Gura, Fall, 1988. Miscellaneous autobirographical notes, typed and handwritten, undated. Probber family archives.〕 After high school graduation, he accepted a job as designer for Trade Upholstery, a small manufacturing facility on West 17th Street.〔Trade Upholstery shop, promotional letter to customers, December 10, 1941. (The salary figure, from Probber’s notes, seems high for the time).〕
1940 was the beginning of American modernism, a time characterized by young designers with talent, initiative, and a willingness to take risks with new ideas. Probber was one of an early band of pioneers in a field that included D.J. DePree of Herman Miller, Hans Knoll, Georg Tanier and Jack Lenor Larsen.〔He was linked with these and other august names in references of the time (e.g., ''Interior Design'', May 1979, p.32).〕
