In Memoriam

Gerald Lawrence McCabe

In Memory of the man who has inspired many of my designs — Gerald "Jerry" Lawrence McCabe 1927-2010

A free spirit who lived life to the fullest and with no regrets.

Born and raised in Long Beach, CA, he was an award winning mid-century modernist furniture designer, known for his contribution to Pierre Koenig's Case Study House #21 and many other published projects. Jerry was the founder of the legendary folk music emporium McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, CA. He enjoyed teaching design as well as yoga, sailing, restoring old Citroens and boats, racing cars and operating a tugboat.

He taught us what it looks like to live in the moment and to not judge that moment, but to simply enjoy it. He also taught us to see what other people perceive as short comings are gifts in disguise.
