Mid-Century America:
A generation full of vigor and vim. A generation both simple and dignified, generous and strong. Their world was
made of steel—the cars they drove, the buildings they erected, the desks where they sat—solid and unchanging. Steel was a semblance of their life and their time; the way they worked, the way they played, their integrity, their optimism.
Our
Vintage Furniture are not just a vision of that time, they are from
that time, and an unimpaired concept for the way you work today. Superb design captures the essence of function, and thus its form becomes timeless. The classic lines and
thick gauge construction of this
metal furniture has remained unchanged for more than fifty years. A functional blend of surfaces and storage, our furniture can be combined to outfit any office, home work area, or retail space.
Each piece is completely stripped down of its old dreadful paint to reveal the underlying beauty the
natural steel finish
offers. Each piece is machine sanded over and over until you can comb your hair in its mirror-like finish. All Pieces are then
clear-coated to ensure maximum protection.

About The
Manufacturer:
Dazor's
history started in 1938 when
Harry
Dazey teamed up with Washington University
professor
Albert Perbal, to create a company that
would manufacture lamps.
Harry
Dazey began his career by producing butter
churns, but when Mr. Dazey came up with the idea
for the
floating arm portable light he decided to
restructure his company into a lamp manufacturer
that specialized in
task
lights.
Initially,
Dazor
lights were used simply as
table
lamps and the company grew to employ a dozen
people. It was not until the eruption of
World War II that
Dazor
lamps became famous for their high
efficiency and lower costs. The government
found that
Dazor's lamps helped to conserve energy and
were cheaper than the traditional costly
overhead
lighting. They were so impressed that they
replaced the
overhead
lighting with the more
energy
efficient Dazor lamps and the company grew
very rapidly.
Dazor
was also the first
fluorescent lamp manufacturer to combine the
technology of the
portable
task light with
fluorescent light bulbs. The technology was
highlighted in a display by General Electric at
the 1938 World's Fair. The
lamp
became popular quickly, especially among
draftsman
and
architects of the time who found that the
lights offered better visibility than
traditional
incandescent lights.
Today,
Dazor
lights are used in many industries where
good
lighting is essential to quality
performance.
Jewelers,
electronic manufacturers, medical and
dental
professionals,
artists
and craftsmen all use
Dazor
lamps. High quality components, engineered
design, and a vast attention to detail keep
Dazor
positioned as one of the premier
lamp
manufacturers in the world.
