They managed the firm for almost ten years, producing hundreds of pieces for the modern home. In 1940, wartime exigencies brought an end to the enterprise. They redirected their energy to Gerald Summers Ltd., a supplier of engineering parts.MARTHA DEESE is an authority on Gerald Summers. She earned a master's degree in decorative art history from Cooper-Hewitt Museum Parsons School of Design, New York, and worked for three decades as an administrator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Inside the interwar British design store that pioneered midcentury modern plywood furniture"It was simple furniture . and we were makers of it."In 1931, the English designer Gerald Summers (1899-1967) and his partner, Marjorie Butcher (1909-96), opened their London shop Makers of Simple Furniture. A small company, they produced made-to-order furniture. Until the firm's closing in 1940, Makers of Simple Furniture produced hundreds of ingenious furniture designs in plywood.
