About the Item

Danny Ho Fong for Tropi-Cal Wicker and Iron Dining Table and Chairs, ca 1960s. Sublime Asian-inspired California Design wicker and iron dining set by Danny Ho Fong for Tropical-Cal in the 1960s. This example is unusual in that it features what appears to be original leather upholstered seats in a pleasing diamond pattern - most examples have wicker seats. We believe this to be original as the upholstery beneath the seats is horsehair and burlap with canvas straps which indicates an older upholstery method. The black dust covers covering the seat bottoms has deteriorated so this has been replaced. Set includes dining table with glass top and 6 stools/chairs with leather upholstered seats. Table measures 26 1/2" high x 72" wide x 28 3/4" deep. Seats measure 16 1/2" high x 14 3/4" square. Light scratches on glass and one tiny chip on one corner. Minor losses to black paint on iron frame. Minor wear and only a few breaks to wicker as it has been largely protected by the glass top. (See images and video) Danny Ho Fong was a Chinese American furniture manufacturer. He was born in Canton and professionally active in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Fong settled in California in the 1930s and subsequently founded TropiCal which became a leading producer of Rattan furniture. During the 1960s Fong was considered one of the best contemporary designers of Rattan furniture. Today most of the furniture is made in factories in the Philippines and Indonesia. He won the AID’s International Design Award, one of his pieces has been placed in the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art. Source: Byars, M., & Riley, T. (2004).
