Description
"According to Cora Golden, Canadian Office and School Furniture was an important manufacturer of office, hospital, airport and school furniture during the post-WWII boom. Robin Bush, an important designer of the time, worked for COSF. She recommends that it be included in the collection on the basis of the above, although it is still to be substantiated whether this item was the work of Bush and COSF"
