Henry Link Living Room Sets

American

Although Henry Link is best known for his high-quality wicker dressers, desks, chairs and other seating, the designer and entrepreneur was also a key figure in revolutionizing America’s furniture industry and moving it toward mass production during the early 20th century.

Born in 1889, Link studied at Yadkin College and began his career as a banker in Lexington, North Carolina and New York before taking leadership of the Dixie Furniture Company in 1936. Established in 1901, the small company initially became known for its production of oak and walnut bedroom furniture. However, with Link at the helm, the company grew following a merger with the Elk Furniture Company. 

In 1940, Link visited Henry Ford’s automobile plant in Detroit, Michigan where he became inspired by the factory’s assembly process. Upon his return to Lexington, Link installed automatic conveyors and mass-production techniques at Dixie.

To facilitate Dixie Furniture Company’s exponential growth, four separate divisions were created in the 1950s and 1960s, including Henry Link Furniture. Although the Link collection was initially known for its line of girls’ bedroom furniture, it expanded with a range of styles — from striking reproductions of French Provincial furniture to Polynesian-inspired designs. By the 1970s, Link’s division was among the first in America to popularize casual wicker furnishings such as bohemian-chic dressers, side tables, end tables and center tables. Among Link’s other popular designs were chinoiserie “Mandarin” cabinets, Chinese Chippendale accent chairs and bamboo dining room chairs.

In 1987, the Dixie Furniture Company and its divisions — including Henry Link Furniture — were bought by the Masco Corporation and renamed Lexington Furniture Industries. Meanwhile, Link was posthumously inducted into the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame in 1998.

Today, Link’s pieces are highly coveted by interior designers and avid collectors of mid-century modern wicker and rattan furniture.
