Ficks Reed Dining Room Sets

American

Somewhat of an overlooked icon of American design, Ficks Reed was founded by Louis Ficks in 1885 as the National Carriage and Reed Company, a New York purveyor of wicker baby carriages. By the turn of the century, however, the company had moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, and, under the auspices of Ficks Reed, began manufacturing furniture with wicker, rattan and bamboo.

Over the coming decades, Ficks Reed would benefit from an increased interest in Asian imports, as evidenced in everything from the growing popularity of chinoiserie wallpaper and Chinese porcelain to the Japanese influence in Frank Lloyd Wright’s modern architecture.

The brand was also bolstered by partnerships with several prominent architects and designers throughout the 20th century, including Paul László, Pipsan Saarinen Swanson — creator of the company's Sol-Air Group and elder sister of Eero SaarinenJohn B. Wisner, Paul T. Frankl and Dorothy Draper.

Each Ficks Reed partner brought their unique sensibility to the designs — Swanson’s had skeletal frames while Draper, a largely forgotten decorator and pioneer of the Hollywood Regency style, favored more ornate detailing; László created low-slung seats — but all were rendered in the company’s signature wicker and bamboo.

Thanks in large part to the Draper relationship, Ficks Reed furniture has long been a fixture at The Greenbrier and Colony hotels, as well as other luxury properties including the Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton resorts and The Breakers in Palm Beach. In 2006, Draper protégé Carleton Varney continued his mentor’s legacy by debuting a new 20-piece collection for Ficks Reed based on her original designs.

A recent resurgence in the popularity of wicker and rattan has given way to newfound demand for Ficks Reed rattan chairs and other furniture in the secondary market, where original vintage pieces are often refinished, repainted or lacquered to further underscore the textural detail of their bamboo and rattan frames.

Asian Modern Rattan Bamboo Pagoda Coffee Table by John Wisner for Ficks Reed
By Ficks Reed, John Wisner
Located in Chattanooga, TN
A sublime fusion of Asian-inspired elegance and mid-century design acuity, this pagoda-style coffee table by John Wisner for Ficks Reed embodies both form and narrative flair. Circa 1950s and conceived as part of Wisner’s iconic Far Horizons collection, the table channels the essence of East-West synthesis with its gently upturned “pagoda” handles and architectural silhouette. The table features a robust bamboo and rattan build, meticulously joined and bound in cane with twisted wrap details at every intersection. The raised mango-wood parquet-style tray surface remains original and exhibits a luminous sheen that enhances the rich warmth of the honeyed weave. Its thoughtfully elevated ends and integrated handles offer subtle sculptural lift and practical intention—perfect for serving or display. Measuring approximately 67¼ inches long, 19 inches deep, and 15 inches high, this piece commands visual presence without overwhelming proportion—an ideal centerpiece for relaxed living spaces, screened porches, or lush lounges. It remains in carefully restored, elevation-ready condition with vibrant surface tone and enduring structural integrity. Wisner’s legacy at Ficks Reed is rooted in his ability to harmonize natural materiality with modernist proportions. This pagoda form exemplifies his fascination with Eastern motifs and American refinement, rendering the piece both exotic and elegant. It continues to resonate in interiors that prize organic balance, sculptural warmth, and collectible mid-century authenticity. This unique bamboo and rattan pagoda style coffee table was designed by John Wisner for Ficks Reed, circa 1950s. John Wisner graduated from Parsons School Of Design in 1935 and designed for both private clients, and corporate clients including Dorothy Draper and Ficks Reed, where he was noted for his ‘Far Horizons’ collection of 1954 which incorporated eastern elements. This classic piece of eastern influenced modern American design boasts beautifully sculpted bamboo and rattan with wrapped binder cane joints. The honey colored parquet style woven raffia tray...
