Herbert Hirche was one of Germany’s most prominent architects and designers in the 1950s and 1960s. After completing an apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker, he studied at the Bauhaus in Dessau and in Berlin, where, among others, Kandinsky and Mies van der Rohe were his teachers. After graduating, he worked in van der Rohe’s studio in Berlin. He also collaborated with Egon Eiermann and Hans Scharoun. In 1948, he was appointed Professor of Applied Arts at the Berlin Weissensee School of Art and, later, at the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design. Alongside his teaching, Hirche always worked as a freelance architect and designer, significantly shaping the development of product design in postwar Germany. He was a member of the German Werkbund, of the Association of German Industrial Designers (VDI) and of the German Design Council (Rat für Formgebung). His work is defined by functionality and by harmonious proportions in the style of the Bauhaus teaching, which naturally blend with their environment.

Leif Jacobsen was born in Denmark but his family came to Canada when he was still an infant. In 1952 he opened an eponymous custom millwork firm. The company was subcontracted to complete work for American firms Knoll International and Herman Miller, but soon moved into designing its own furnishings under the direction of Danish-trained cabinetmaker Svend Neilsen. Leif Jacobsen made furnishings for major retailers of the day, including Walter Nugent Designs, Nienkämper, and Metalsmiths. They were also known for their high-end custom office furnishings: a suite could cost upwards of $20,000 in the 1960s. (Gotlieb & Golden, p. 243) The firm’s luxurious rosewood credenza shows why prices were so high. The workmanship is impeccable and the style timeless.
