Vladimir Kagan ( 1927-2016 ) born in Germany , grew up in the United States where his father opened a cabinet shop . Later , Kagan joined the family business . Here the designer experiments with organically sculpted wood in works that become the hallmarks of his career . Kagan himself explains that his father always said ‘ measure three times and cut once ’ whereas Kagan did exactly the opposite . Kagan ’ s furniture has the extraordinary ability to completely change the landscape of the room even it is with one single object . Kagan ’ s work looks truly original , even up to today .
