Bertha Schaefer Coffee Table
Artist/Designer: Bertha Schaefer (American, 1895-1971); Singer & Sons (USA)
Additional Information: “By profession, Bertha Schaefer was an interior decorator, but she broadened the definition of decorator to designer, innovator, and pioneer in integrating fine arts and architecture with interior design. In the 1940s, she challenged architects who were rethinking the traditional home to translate two-dimensional design into three dimensions and to work collaboratively with interior designers, craftspeople, and fine artists in developing a comprehensive plan for postwar, contemporary living.” (source: jwa.org)
