Elizabeth Goldfinger (born 1936) is a furniture designer, and the daughter of the architect Erno Goldfinger.[1] She trained at the Central School of Art and Design, and created furniture designs in the 1960s.[2][3][4]
One of her best-known pieces is the "Liz Box" (1965), a laminated birch plywood low table/storage box constructed from six pieces using a slot-together technique, with the top panel lifting up to reveal an open interior.[5] The technique allowed her to build flat-pack designs omitting the need for any screws or tools, by allowing the pieces to slot together.[4][6][7] The "Liz Box" can today be seen at her father’s modernist 1939 house in Hampstead, London.
Goldfinger's designs are featured in the Stanley Book of Designs for Making Your Own Furniture.[8]
