Midcentury industrial designer Charles Pollock, best known for his 1963 Pollock Executive Chair manufactured by Knoll, died Tuesday in a house fire in Queens, N.Y. He was 83. Of his most famous piece, a midcentury modern staple oft used on the set of Mad Men, Pollock once said: "Call it a personality. It's like a woman who is beautiful when she's 19 and beautiful when she's 45. She might be older, but she's still beautiful." More about the designer, over at Co.Design. [Co.Design]
