With an unwavering commitment and curatorial approach, Harvey has spent some 45 years amassing the world’s most exceptional collection of rattan furniture and accessories designed by Paul T. Frankl. His careful eye, deep knowledge, and uncompromising standards have allowed him to acquire the largest inventory of genuine Frankl rattan pieces in existence. Each item in Harvey’s Private Collection is an original masterwork of craftsmanship and an emblem of Frankl’s enduring impact on contemporary design. These museum-quality authentic Frankl’s were sourced from homes in Los Angeles that Frankl designed.

In the 1930s-40s, Frankl invigorated indoor decor by bringing the warmth and organic shapes of rattan into modern interior spaces. His rattan furniture captured the spirit of modern ingenuity and industrial progress. Under Harvey’s stewardship, Frankl’s most sought-after pieces have been impeccably preserved and managed venerably as icons of 20th-century design. A signature lounge chair, sourced and sold by Harvey, is in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
