Paul McCobb furniture is some of the most coveted pieces of furniture to come out of the post-war era.

His design focused on modular furniture that features simple yet elegant pieces. Being practical and relatively affordable, they easily became popular with the modern consumers. Probably the most famous Paul McCobb Furniture design centered around the Planner series produced by Winchendon Furniture during the 1950’s. They were composed of contemporary designed living, bedroom and dining room wooden furniture with clean, simple lines that are affordable. Also included in the line were crudely welded wrought iron stools with a comfortable seating attached to the top.

There were also designs manufactured by other furniture companies such as the Irwin collection manufactured by Calvin Furniture.

The Connoisseur collection also features dining tables in rounded or oval shapes. They come in a variety of wood finishes that can easily match any modern-day interiors.

The modern design has paved way for vintage classic furnishings to become trendy again. The clean lines and sleek features that made them famous during the 50’s have been accepted and recognized by furniture enthusiasts of today.
