About the Item

Crafted in the mid‑1950s by John Wisner for Ficks Reed, this compelling set—a pair of bamboo lounge chairs accompanied by matching end tables—is a sublime embodiment of tropical modernism. Each chair’s architectural form features pagoda‑inspired armrests adorned with brass-capped campaign-style accents, presenting an engaging dialogue between Asian aesthetic and mid‑century American design sensibilities. Within the delicate yet sturdy bamboo frame, tightly woven raffia or cane invites both tactile appreciation and visual depth, its warm tones glowing under soft light. Fully restored, the set includes plush, newly upholstered cushions in a period-appropriate tropical or botanical fabric that enhances the frame’s material warmth. The quality of restoration shines through in both structure and upholstery, preserving the original character while ensuring functional longevity. The lounge chairs measure approximately 32.75 inches high, 27.25 inches wide, and 32.25 inches deep, with a comfortable seat height of about 16.5 inches. The accompanying end tables are crafted with the same refined bamboo aesthetic, offering surfaces both elegant and purposeful. A tasteful fusion of modern, Eastern and boho-chic style. Luxurious bamboo seating group by John B. Wisner for Ficks Reed. Wisner’s “Far Horizons” collection was first introduced in 1954 and remains a desirable, timeless classic. Inspired by the tropical lands of the the East, these bamboo lounge chairs and tend tables are featured in the hard-to-find dark walnut tone. The color is so deep that it almost appears ebonized. Curved and straight lines of rattan intersect to create this trademark pagoda style. The original straps have been replaced with all new supports. Professionally reupholstered with new, light colored textured fabric. Tastefully tailored with button tufting and boxed stitched cushions. Along with new foam cushions, our restoration team spent countless hours on the revitalizing the bamboo on all four pieces. We maintained the original tone and mitigated nearly every flaw in the finish. Not to be overlooked, the octagon end tables offer plenty of function along with the form. Display independently as two side tables or push them together to create a coffee table. The white laminate tops not only like new, but they're practically indestructible. No need to worry about hosting parties. The original label is present on both chair decks. Tables are not labeled.

7-Piece John Wisner for Ficks Reed Far Horizons Rattan Modular Sofa Group
By John and Elinor McGuire, Ficks Reed, John Wisner
Located in Chattanooga, TN
This elegant modular sectional by John Wisner for Ficks Reed comes from the iconic Far Horizons collection, first introduced in 1954. Poised at the intersection of Eastern sensibility and mid-century modernity, the design blends tropical-inspired rattan craftsmanship with clean modern form, resulting in a versatile sectional that’s both sculptural and relaxed. The sofa is composed of four modular rattan segments—three seating units and one integrated end table. This flexibility allows you to configure it as a linear lounge, an L-shaped sectional, or separate chairs paired with a standalone table—the perfect match for dynamic living environments. Constructed in a rich walnut-toned rattan that nearly suggests ebonized depth, each module features refined details: squared backs in pagoda style, campaign-style brass or aluminum accent caps, and secure bamboo-tied joinery. The rattan framework supports plush cushions, making the piece comfortable and visually engaging. Provenance & Appeal Designed by John Wisner—whose work for Ficks Reed remains a touchstone of mid-century tropical modern design—this suite is rare in its modular completeness and consistently rich tone. Its craftsmanship reflects quality and thoughtful design, while its modularity echoes the era’s embrace of flexible, informal living. Ideal for interiors that favor open layouts, eclectic beach-modern themes, or thoughtfully curated vintage setups, this sectional provides both aesthetic beauty and functional adaptability. It's modular, iconic, and rare—a timeless addition for collectors and modern interiors alike. A tasteful fusion of modern, Eastern and boho-chic style. Luxurious bamboo living room set by John B.
