Edward Durell Stone interweaves a sleek, modern aesthetic with traditional Ozark craftsmanship in this chair design. Stone grew up in Fayetteville, Arkansas, alongside future Senator J. William Fulbright, who invited Stone to design a new furniture line for his family’s company, Fulbright Industries. They manufactured the chair’s wooden frame with techniques and materials previously used to make farming tools: notice how the curve of the rear leg echoes that of a plough handle. George Gibson, a fourth-generation Ozark basket weaver, handwove the seat and back.
