Gold Medal - The Original Directors Chair
An enduring 120 year tradition – the original directors chair - since 1892
This Timeless Causal Lifestyle Seating was born in the middle of the 19th Century. The Original Gold Medal design received the coveted gold medal for "Product Excellence in Casual Furniture" during the 1892 Chicago World's Fair. Hence the name Gold Medal was forever attached to this line of top quality American designed canvas furniture.
Famous inventor Thomas Edison was often seen around campfires seated in a Gold Medal folding chair (Director Chair). Later on, the director chair accompanied our troops to the battlefields of the Spanish American war (1898) and both world wars. From history to Hollywood to homes and exhibit halls, America continues to embrace the versatility of this Gold Medal Director Chair.
