Jacob Rudowski (1927-1996) was a furniture designer who arrived in Australia ca. 1960. He is known for his modernist designs, which often incorporated clean lines, simple forms, and natural materials. One of Rudowski's most famous designs is his "Tulip Chair," which features a curved backrest and tapered legs. The chair is made from solid timber and has a simple, elegant design that remains popular today. Rudowski also designed a range of other furniture pieces, including tables, cabinets, and shelving units. Many of his Melbourne clients were mid-century modernist architects and designers. His furniture is typically timber with upholstered living and dining seating and his designs were known for their functional simplicity.
