Designer Furniture by The Style Modern Furniture Designed by Victor Cook

Victor Cook majored in art at the University of Wyoming. There, he studied under Ilya Bolotowski who was part of the visual arts movement led by Piet Mondrian and the Dutch design group known as de Stijl. At The Art Institute of Chicago, Mr. Cook produced several scale models of orthogonal structural compositions in the manner of de Stijl – first a sofa, then a house, followed by a chair and a coffee table.

Most of the works on this site were created in the last fifteen years. Some of the pieces, like the Cordell Sofa and Sud Möbel Chair, are restorations of prototypes produced thirty years ago. Many of the designs are new.

Personal Reflections on The Style Collection:
Confessions of a Wood Lover
by Victor Cook

When I was a boy I went to Bible school in a Methodist Church. I received a satin ribbon for the name of every book of the Old Testament I could recite from memory.

It was in a small church in the drought stricken plains of southern Oklahoma that we opened the kneeling rails. I loved the sound of wood-hitting-wood as the rail hit the floor. It was unlike any other sound I had ever heard. I thought the heavens were speaking to me through the wood.

Surprisingly, you can hear that sound again, without even going to Church. Just hit together two rails of any piece in The Style Collection during assembly and you will find the sound equally unforgettable.
