Geoffrey David Harcourt (1935) was educated at The Royal College of Art in London. In 1962 he designed his first series of small office armchairs for Artifort. With his contribution, Artifort gains access to the international market for project furnishing. Harcourt primarily designs seating furniture for reception areas. His second design for Artifort, the series 042 from 1963, is an immediate international success. His philosophy is that the chair should be oriented towards people and not the other way around. “First the person, then the chair.” Harcourt wins many awards and in 1978 is awarded the title “Royal Designer for Industry”.
