Stow & Davis Seating

American

There was something for everyone in Stow & Davis's offerings during its heyday. Known for its period revival designs — as well as its wood-and-steel framework desks and other Streamline Moderne-inspired works of the late 1920s and '30s — the American manufacturer created sleek and innovative modern office furniture during the mid-century years, too.     

Before the company was Stow & Davis, it was the Stow and Haight Furniture Company, formed by the partnership of Russell Stow and Thomas Haight in 1880. It produced kitchen and dining extension tables in a workshop in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1885, businessman George A. Davis purchased Haight’s interest in the firm, and its name was changed to Stow & Davis.

The company later turned its attention to manufacturing office furniture, producing its first boardroom table in 1889. By the 1890s, Stow & Davis had established itself as a major supplier of furniture for libraries and offices. By 1916, it was supplying banks with furniture such as its sturdy wood Colonial Revival-style conference tables, leather-upholstered executive and swivel chairs and traditional desks in oak and mahogany.

The Great Depression forced the reorganization of Stow & Davis, and, during World War II, the company was commissioned to manufacture wooden desks, chairs and bunk beds for United States Navy vessels. 

During the 1950s and ’60s, amid the rise of what we now call mid-century modernism, Stow & Davis endeavored to innovate, collaborating with several notable designers to produce inspired new collections.

While it continued to offer traditional furniture styles influenced by English design, Stow & Davis began to incorporate curved lines, rounded edges and sleek finishes into its offerings during the postwar years. Its mid-century modern furniture included pieces like Bert England’s stainless steel frame office chairs, walnut and bronzed steel conference tables by Italian designer Osvaldo Borsani and sophisticated credenzas by Giacomo Buzzitta, an award-winning alum of the John Widdicomb Company.

In 1985, the Grand Rapids manufacturer Steelcase acquired Stow & Davis.

Gorgeous Stow & Davis cognac leather modern tuxedo or Chesterfield style sofa with a walnut plinth base, loose seat cushions and deep tufted button detail. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. There was a scuff on the upper right arm corner that has been repaired. Other scuffs have been touched up and the base has been refinished but still has a light spot where the wood grain was different. And the zipper in one seat cushion has been replaced. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1978. Have you been looking for a sofa that makes a statement? Look no further!! This is an absolutely gorgeous saddle or cognac leather sofa by Stow & Davis. It is comprised of a tuxedo or modernized chesterfield style frame with stunning tight, deep tufted button detail on the back and inner arms, three loose leather seat cushions with fabric backs, and a walnut plinth base. WOW!! It is magnificent! It’s going to look outstanding in your Modern living room, but it would be equally as awesome in an office, sitting room, or flanking your fireplace. It would be gorgeous in your industrial loft, mountain lodge, or contemporary apartment. Stow & Davis is well known for their eclectic style, profound comfort and superb quality, and this sofa is no exception!! It is nothing short of spectacular! Stow & Davis furniture company was founded in 1885 by George A. Davis when he purchased Thomas Haight’s interest in Stow & Haight and changed the name to Stow & Davis. Since then, the company has consistently grown and expanded to become one of the foremost leaders of the industry and is still in business today. The firm primarily produced kitchen, dining, and office extension tables. In 1928, the firm acquired Grand Rapids Desk...
