Geoffrey Harcourt

Geoffrey Harcourt trained at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1962, he designed his first series of small office fauteuils for Artifort. His first design, the 042 series in 1963, was an immediate international success.
His philosophy is that the chair should focus on the person and not the other way around. Harcourt has won many prizes and in 1978 was awarded the title of “Royal Designer for Industry”.
