"The simplicity of Oriental art has had a definite influence upon the style of today. Not only have we learned the art of elimination from the Far East, but our unseeing eyes have been opened to a new conception of beauty," is how Frankl describes the influences on designs such as this. An excellent example of his Skyscraper furniture.
