Biography
Max Clendinning (born 1924 in County Armagh, Northern Ireland) is an architect and interior designer.
Clendinning is best known for his 1965 design of the "slot-together but sturdy looking" Maxima chair, inspired in part by computer lettering. This design was featured in an exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2012. He also created designs for Christian Dior and Liberty and Co and, for London Midland Region of British Railways, the laminated wooden roofs at Manchester Oxford Road railway station (1960).
He has lived in Islington with partner Ralph Adron for forty years.
