Warren McArthur Coffee table, model 1559-s Warren McArthur Corporation USA, c. 1930 enameled aluminum, laminate 18½ h × 30 dia in (47 × 76 cm) literature: Warren McArthur Corporation, Donnelly, pg. 50 Warren McArthur Jr. was an innovator in Machine Age/ Art Deco furniture design. McArthur moved from Chicago to Los Angeles in 1929 to pursue metal furniture manufacturing; he founded the Warren McArthur Corporation there in 1930. His furniture designs while unique were true to the Machine Age aesthetic. Machine Age design emphasized sleek forms inspired by automobiles, locomotives and airplanes. These objects were symbols of progress and modernity to the American consumer and industrial designers began constructing furniture in streamlined designs from steel, chrome and aluminum. Prior to the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, known as the “Century of Progress Exhibition.” The fair’s tagline, “See America Streamlined,” and the abundance of metal furniture and home goods exhibited finally presented the concept of utilizing metal designs in the typical American household. The Museum of Modern Art followed suit in subsequent years with exhibitions like "Machine Art," (1934), and "Bauhaus 1919-1928" (1938), further exposing the American public to this design style. The Warren McArthur Corporation moved manufacturing to Rome, New York in 1933, just as metal furniture was gaining popularity; the company’s products were sold out of a showroom in New York City on Park Avenue. As a manufacturer, McArthur filed numerous patent designs which he utilized in advertisements to exhibit the innovations he developed. The company also proudly printed patent numbers on furniture...

Ebonized mahogany tri-level coffee table, attributed to Paul Laszlo, Brown Saltman Los Angeles, c. 1952. A pioneering force in the evolution of California Modern, Paul László imbued the more rigid European modernism with plusher comfort and more sumptuous flair. Laszlo began his career in Stuttgart, an epicenter of modern design prior to WWII and gained international recognition for his sumptuous, sensual brand of modernism. His early fans included Salvador Dali and George Nelson. Laszlo accepted a professorship in the US as a means of fleeing the Nazis (Two of his siblings and both his parents would die in the Holocaust). From New York, László drove cross-country to California, where he opened an office in Beverly Hills. Despite speaking hardly any English, his reputation preceded him, and he soon started receiving commissions, including remodeling and refurnishing Bullock’s on Wilshire Boulevard, the premier department store in Los Angeles. By the late 1930s László had become designer of choice to the Hollywood elite. Laszlo combined sleek geometric lines and rich woods together with novel materials and textures (ex. lucite and faux weaving), sometimes adding more traditional flourishes such as floral fabrics. His bold use of color was also a major attraction. He opened his new design studio on North Rodeo Drive in 1941, which he would maintain for over 25 years. In 1946, László furnished the residence of Rene Williams in Beverly Hills with designs that have become recognizable classics, such as the Paddle Armchairs, named for their flat, wide armrests. All the pieces from the grouping have clean, elegant lines that draw from Viennese Modern...
