Vladimir Kagan was by far one of American design of mid-century masters, spending nearly 70 years of design and production of modern furniture with its signature curves. His death last week at age 88 ended a brilliant design era that saw even the design and launch new work with Ralph Pucci as recently as the week of his death.
