Chair Tale-Parker



Parker Chairs-ink

Australians are pretty familiar  with Parker furniture.  It is a Sydney company which was established in 1935 and was successful right from the beginning..  One of the owner's sons, Tony Parker, studied design and also worked in London before developing their mid century range in 1951.  He was very much influenced by Danish design and was responsible for introducing teak furniture to Australia in the 1960's.
I have a teak Parker table and chairs which you can see in the first chair post early in the week.  These Parker chairs are a set of two which I found on the side of the road before Xmas.  I love the design of these ones and although they are stored in the garage most of the time, they are happily brought out for any soirees where more chairs are required.
They are in their original white vinyl upholstery and the wood is solid teak.

Well, that's it for the chair posts.  I do have more chairs but I'm sure you have had enough of them by now..
