Stacking tables/stools by Fran Hosken

Fran Hosken was a Boston-based architect, urban planner, designer, feminist, and social activist. 

She studied under Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer at the Harvard School of Design. 

With husband James, they founded Hosken Inc., in 1947.  Although their designs were shown in a large list of 

publications, and selected for MoMA's Good Design and the Milan Triennale, the company folded in 1951.
