• Fitting Furniture

   

   

  During a brief spell teaching in Montreal in the 1960s, Zvi Hecker delved into the world of furniture design, some samples of which were built by his former assistant and carpenter Henry Hutter. Modelled here by his family in 1969, Zvi’s furniture came from the same modular design ideas as his architecture, taking a simple geometric element and repeating it to create a connected system of seats and coffee tables. Considering the difficulties involved in find furniture to fit snugly into some of those acute corners in his housing projects, it’s a shame the system never made it beyond the prototype stage. p (gk)
