Heywood Wakefield Mid Century Modern Chair

 

The sleek look of wood combined with metal defines Mid Century Modern at it’s best and this custom made chair was produced for my Father by Heywood Wakefield.  My Father used this chair for years in his office and he would tell me the story of how it was the only chair they made like this and it was made by the designers at Heywood Wakefield for him.  Many years later I researched the chair and found that a similar chair was made of cherry wood and metal for a hotel in California and this chair was made of walnut.  His story held true of it being the only walnut chair like this made by Heywood Wakefield beacuse of the difference in wood.

My parents had spent the early part of the 60’s in Chicago and they brought with them to Massachusetts a love for the clean lines of Mid Century Modern furniture.  Thank you Mom and Dad for passing this love on to me.
