About the Item

Condition: Expertly Refinished With over 15 years of experience, our workshop has followed a careful process of restoration, showcasing our passion and creativity for vintage designs that can seamlessly be incorporated with many interior decors. Enjoy! :) This Mid-Century Modern “American Leisure” walnut coffee table by Kroehler, c.1960’s, embodies the playful elegance of mid-century design. The long rectangular surface rests on sculptural boomerang-style legs, a hallmark of the era’s fascination with futuristic, atomic-inspired forms. Crafted in solid walnut and recently expertly refinished, the piece highlights the natural grain while offering a durable surface for everyday living. Originally part of Kroehler’s American Leisure Collection, this design was advertised alongside matching sofas and lounge chairs, showcasing its role as the centerpiece of a stylish, modern home. Both functional and visually striking, it’s a rare example of American furniture blending affordability with artistry during the golden age of mid-century design. Fun Historical Fact: Kroehler introduced its American Leisure Collection in the early 1960s, promoting it as furniture “for the young at heart” at a time when bold shapes and vibrant fabrics symbolized optimism in American living rooms. Ads from the period often featured this very coffee table paired with colorful sofas in orange, blue, or green, priced at just $157—making modern style widely accessible. The boomerang legs were not just a design flourish but a cultural nod to the Atomic Age, when curved, dynamic shapes echoed the excitement of space exploration and futuristic living.

Kroehler Mfg. Co.

Before growing into one of the largest furniture brands in the United States in the mid-20th century, the Kroehler Manufacturing Co. had humble beginnings. It was founded in 1902, when Peter E. Kroehler, a Chicago-based businessman who grew up on a farm in Minnesota, bought a small furniture manufacturer called Naperville Lounge Co., a maker of wooden lounge chairs and upholstered furniture, founded in 1893.

Peter had first worked there as a clerk before rising to partner and then president and finally owner. Under Kroehler’s leadership, a new factory was built in Naperville, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, in 1913, and soon after the company was renamed.

Kroehler Manufacturing Co. became a fixture of the American furniture industry, eventually employing around 8,000 people in four plants in Illinois and Ohio, and by the 1940s was bringing in more than $20 million in annual sales.

The company was a pioneer in innovative 20th-century furniture, patenting some of its designs, like the Unifold sofa bed with a removable mattress that was developed in 1909 and the sideways foldable Duofold sofa bed. Colorful ads in popular magazines such as Ladies Home Journal propelled these dual-purpose furnishings into customer favorites.

Kroehler was also known for its hand-tufted Turkish couches as well as unique shapes for lounge-chair backs, such as batwings and scallops. In addition to seating and sofa beds, the company specialized in furniture for the entire home, from sturdy wooden cabinets to sleek mid-century modern credenzas.

Kroehler’s historic Naperville factory closed in 1978 due to financial struggles and was acquired by a Chicago investment firm that sold the plants as well as the rights to the Kroehler name. Its Naperville factory was converted into apartments in the 1980s, and decades later the company name is still visible on the building.

Kroehler Manufacturing Co. is remembered for its long association with the Chicago area and its quality mid-century modern pieces, which remain coveted collector’s items to this day.
