The span of his career, from the 1920s to the 1970s, is reflected in the styles of his work, ranging from Nordic Classicism in his the early work, to a rational International Style of Modernism during the 1930s, to a more organic modernist style from the 1940s onwards. He is celebrated as the inventor of bent plywood furniture.
