Description: This elegant set of six dining chairs, designed by Edward J. Wormley for Dunbar, showcases the refined restraint that defined American modernism in the 1950s. The chairs feature beautifully ebonized wood frames paired with woven cane backrests, creating a striking balance between structure and lightness. Their proportions feel architectural yet inviting, making them equally suited for formal dining rooms or more relaxed, design-forward interiors. The original upholstery adds warmth and authenticity, offering a rare glimpse into the materials and color sensibilities of the era. Retained in original vintage condition, this set presents an honest, well-preserved example of Wormley’s timeless design language.
Fun Historical Fact Edward J. Wormley served as Dunbar’s chief designer for over 30 years and played a pivotal role in shaping what is now considered American Mid-Century Modern. Unlike many designers of the time, Wormley often blended modern forms with classical references, believing furniture should feel both progressive and familiar. Dunbar’s meticulous craftsmanship and Wormley’s philosophy are a big reason why original Dunbar pieces remain highly sought after by collectors today.
