Kho Liang Ie: Mid-Century Modernist

Kho Liang Ie has marked the history of design by marrying with rare elegance the serenity of Asia and the functionalism of Europe of the 20th century. At the Stedelijk Museum, a major retrospective highlights the visionary genius of this Indonesian-Dutch artist who transformed our interiors. An iconic collaborator with the Artifort company, he designed streamlined furniture that has become global icons.
