About the Item

Mid-Century Modern Williams Furniture Corp armchair. Made of walnut featuring turned slatted arms and red vinyl cushions. Williams Furniture Corp, a six generation furniture business founded by Jacob Baart family of Grand Rapids Michigan. Opened in 1946, offering a wide range of brands such as England, Best, Vaughan-Bassett, Howard Miller, Klaussner and Lloyd’s of Chatham. Within few years, ownership expanded to include J.B. VanderMeer, a furniture salesman who called on the store before marrying Lorraine Baart. He continued to run the store until he died in 2001. The store was run by a management team from 2001 to 2010, when a court action restored ownership to family descenant Patricia Cohen. The store closed for good a few years later, after 67 years in business. Williams built a reputation for offering furniture in the mid-price range. And selling lots of recliners. Before La-Z-Boy opened stores, Williams ranked fourth in the nation for the sale of recliners. In 1992, the store was named Retailer of the Year by the Home Furnishings Representatives of Michigan. Dimensions: 28" x 30" x 30" / Seat Height - 18" (Width x Depth x Height).

  • Alberto Rosselli Saporiti Italia Post Modern Confidential Club Lounge Chairs MCM
    By Alberto Rosselli Saporiti
    Located in Dayton, OH
    "Iconic pair of Fratelli Saporiti Italia Confidental lounge, library or club arm chairs by Alberto Rosselli, circa 1970s. One of the first modular club chairs with a puzzle like cushion connection creating a pivotal look. Provenance : Jerome Schottenstein Estate, Columbus Ohio. Jerome was was an American entrepreneur and philanthropist, co-founder of Schottenstein Stores Corp. The Schottenstein family were Lithuanian immigrants who began an extensive business empire in the late 19th Century. Schottenstein Stores owns stakes in DSW and American Signature Furniture; American Eagle Outfitters, retail liquidator SB360 Capital Partners, over 50 shopping centers, and 5 factories producing its shoes and furniture. It also holds an ownership interest in American Eagle Outfitters, Wehmeyer in Germany, Cold Stone Creamery and The Mazel Company. Since 1950, Saporiti Italia produces some of the most sophisticated and advanced pieces of furniture of the history of Italian design. There is a leit motiv in all the company's creations: each new piece is history in itself. Catching time off balance and anticipating the future are both the challenge and the vocation of Saporiti Italia. Each item created and constructed by the company is slightly ahead of its time and it is destined to last, both in form and function, until the next era. The company, founded in 1950 by Mr. Sergio Saporiti and still under control of the Saporiti family, has contributed to the creation of milestones in the history of Italian design. During these decades of fast growing economy and fast changing social environment, Saporiti Italia set its particular international and avant-garde style. The first pieces of furniture of the Saporiti of the times were clearly influenced by emerging Scandinavian design, but with a special touch of Italian elegance in the use of finishing and materials. In 1965 Sergio Saporiti started a fruitful and “scientific” collaboration with one of the masters of Italian architecture and design of all times: Alberto Rosselli. Together they created a series of pieces of furniture – the Jumbo chair...
