Kem Weber (1889-1963) was a German-born architect and furniture designer. His birth name was Karl Emanuel Martin Weber but in 1914, he changed his first name to a less German sounding, 'Kem' when he became stranded in the USA after the outbreak of the First World War. Kem Architecture was part of the West Coast Modernist movement in America. His designs included many projects and products in Streamline Modern, a form of Art Deco design and architecture that was extremely popular in the USA and Europe in the 1930s. This style emphasized curved forms and long horizontal lines; it was the epitome of sophistication and modernity in that era. Streamline Modern was used for everything from stainless steel cocktail shakers to high powered steam locomotives. Weber designed a lounge chair and other pieces for the Lloyd Manufacturing Company in 1930. Weber worked very successfully with many types of companies using Streamline Modern and utilized different materials in his designs. Weber's most famous work is probably the "Airline" chair of 1934. Although it was practical, stylish, and economical to construct and ship, the Airline chair failed to find a volume manufacturer, and most surviving examples come from the batch of 300 made for the Walt Disney Studios. Weber was hired by Walt Disney in 1938 to be the chief architect of the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. In his day, German American designer Kem Weber was one of the country’s most renowned designers.
