Kagan, of the Hall of Fame
Modernity bespeaks his name
Seat your friends on curves and rounds
Flowing shapes for your surround
Welcome to the global trend
of Serpentine's ingenious bend

Vladimir Kagan is one of today's most enduring designers of modern furniture with a career that has spanned almost sixty years. His innovative sculptured designs created a new look in modern American furniture since the 1950's. Today, Kagan's creations are sought after by high-profile and fashion-conscious home and business owners. His prize-winning designs have been published in books and magazines internationally, are featured in museums and have a host of collectors.
The Serpentine sofa, introduced in 1950, set the trend for a new approach to home furnishings. Designed to create a more sociable atmosphere in a room, it takes seating away from the wall and spreads it out in a free-form design. One of Kagan's most important pieces of furniture, the Serpentine is ideal for open spaces. Other Vladimir Kagan sofas, including pictured Crescent, Shorty, and Cocoon 2, were inspired by the classic Serpentine and are adaptable to a variety of spaces and environments.
