Item Details
- Age: Circa 1960s
- Background: Parker Furniture, established in 1935 in Sydney, Australia, by Jack Parker and Alf Dagger, emerged as a leading name in mid-century modern design, particularly with the introduction of its Nordic range in the late 1950s and 1960s. Under the innovative direction of Jack’s son, Tony Parker, who joined the family business in 1949 after studying design in Europe, the company embraced Scandinavian influences, blending sleek, functional forms with exceptional craftsmanship. The Nordic range, one of Parker’s most celebrated collections, features signature pieces like dining chairs, sideboards, and tables crafted from rich teak, known for its durability and striking grain. Characterized by minimalist lines, tapered legs, and organic contours, the range reflects Tony’s vision of timeless, practical furniture designed to enhance everyday living. Its popularity soared in Australia during the mid-20th century, and today, the Nordic range remains highly sought after by collectors, with its value climbing due to renewed appreciation for mid-century aesthetics and sustainable design.
