Charles Pfister

Charles Pfister (1939-1990) is an American designer. A graduate of the University of California, he worked for 15 years in the interior design department of the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill studio, one of the largest architectural firms in the world and famous above all for its skyscrapers. In 1981 he then set up on his own, founding his own studio with offices in San Francisco and London, with which he created projects for important clients such as the interiors of the Royal Dutch Shell headquarters in Den Haag or the London office of the large Citicorp banking group. His best results in the field of design were obtained in 1971, when Knoll put his Pfister Collection into production, while his collaboration with the Baker brand dates back to a later period.
