M2L Reissues Harvey Probber’s Iconic Designs

While you might not recognize his name you’ll probably recognize his designs or at least his ideas. Harvey Probber was an iconic American designer who introduced the world to modular sectional seating in the 1940s and went on to have a successful career that spanned four decades. He sold the company in 1986 and since that time, his designs have become prized collector’s items around the world. Luckily, M2L has signed an exclusive agreement with the Harvey Probber Design Archive to reissue some of Probber’s most iconic furniture designs. The initial launch of M2L BRAND for Harvey Probber includes pieces from his popular Architectural Series with additional pieces coming next year.
