Rhythm. In art, a harmonious sequence of a correlation of colors or elements. Simply put, that’s the perfect description of this collection by Lane… Extraordinary! And, we have a BEAUTIFUL end table with a convenient single drawer to offer to you!! As written in the Lane Alta Vista brochure “the distinctive design of the Rhythm Collection is best described as softly sculpted legs and rails which flow together as a single molded unit. Figured walnut heartwood, bordered with a slightly lighter shade of walnut is used for the tops. The tops are indented from the rails just enough to emphasize the sculptured, unitary construction. And a lovely urethane finish completes a picture of clean, fluent lines and tastefully restrained elegance in contemporary styling.” This single end table is exactly that… simply elegant, clean lines, and designed with a style like only Lane Alta Vista can create!! It’s dated 3/23/63 and is comprised of a marvelous rectangular walnut frame with straight legs, and it has a single drawer with a lovely brass pull. It’s composed of simple, smooth lines and gorgeous wood grain!! It’s going to blend in beautifully with all your mid-century modern pieces and potentially may become your new favorite piece of exemplary furniture. Use it next to a lounge chair in your sitting room or adorn it with a fabulous lamp! It is versatile enough to go just about anywhere and with a look this incredible… it’s EXACTLY what the designer ordered!!!

Lane was founded in 1912 by Edward Hudson Lane at the age of 21, upon his father’s suggestion after he, John Edward Lane, bought a small packing-box plant in Altavista, Virginia. Edward procured a loan and converted the factory to make cedar chests and named it The Standard Red Cedar Chest Co. Sales were good, and the company expanded. But during WWI, with the banning of rail freight deemed non-essential, they began making pine ammunition boxes. This is notable as it led to an assembly line which was revolutionary and became the first moving conveyor assembly system in the furniture industry. After the war, with sales still increasing, Ed Lane decided he could risk giving the company his name and changed it to The Lane Co. in 1922. They began advertising and an ambitious program of research and development leading to hiring their first staff designer and sales force. They made it through the depression with a lot of hard work and again during WWII converted to providing items needed for wartime. After WWII a complete design department was added. They were innovative, creating new materials. One called Lanewood which was produced from waste wood. 1951 brought the making of occasional tables. Then in 1956 the acquisitions began of other companies to add case goods and upholstered furnishings. With production of their mid-century-modern furnishings, the company continued to grow and expand until in 1987 it was acquired by Interco, Inc. But, for 75 years the Lane family of Altavista, Virginia ran the business with Edwards son, Bernard Bell (B.B.) Lane, being at the helm at the end. Lane is still to this day a leading U. S. furniture manufacturer.

This Lane Rhythm Collection end table has it all. It’s timeless, classic, and iconic…you simply MUST make it yours!!
