In the 1950s, Probber gained widespread acclaim for his invention of the "sectional seating" concept. This revolutionary idea involved creating seating units that could be rearranged and combined in different configurations to suit the user's needs. The sectional seating system became a hallmark of Probber's designs and a popular choice among homeowners and interior designers alike.
Throughout his career, Probber collaborated with renowned architects and designers, including Philip Johnson and Eero Saarinen, further cementing his reputation as a leading figure in the design world. His work was characterized by clean lines, geometric forms, and an emphasis on functionality and comfort.
In addition to furniture design, Probber also ventured into other areas of the decorative arts. He created lighting fixtures, textiles, and even designed interiors for commercial spaces such as hotels and offices. His multidisciplinary approach allowed him to explore different aspects of design and create cohesive environments that harmonized with his furniture pieces.
