Glass Biography • Elly & Henry Documentary
As modern gaming furniture for the home wasn’t often found, Glass saw it as a natural product for the domestic market. Most likely, the drawings [a table wasn’t found] were shopped around in 1939 along with cartoonish and even inflatable designs to various showrooms in New York City before he landed a job designing for the World’s Fair.
The original chair designs were kept in the Glass files and in 2001 sold to the ArchiTech Gallery collection.
