CREATOR

Kem Weber Lloyd
Lloyd manufacturing CO.
em Weber (1889-1963) Karl Emanuel Martin Weber - a German born Architect and Furniture Designer. Kem Architecture was part of the West Coast Modernist movement in America. His designs included many projects and products in Streamline Moderne, a form of Art Deco design and architecture that was very popular in the USA in the 1930's.
Weber had more success with the tubular steel chairs he designed for the Lloyd Manufacturing Company in Menominee, Michigan (Fig. 3). The company first approached him in the mid-1930s; by 1938, he had produced more than a dozen different chairs and occasional tables with dramatic curling lines.10 The low gracile pieces, Weber told a reporter, were intended not only to be comfortable to sit in and use: “It is a matter, as well, of harmonizing lines and low, restful tones, and a sensation of unlimited space even in a small room.”11 The notion of producing furniture that was also restful to the eye and mind was born of Weber’s belief that true functionality arose from understanding how people really lived and what they wanted in their lives: “I have studied how people behave, how they live when they are at home. I am interested in structural principles, not in the application of ornament.”12
