The artistic expression of elements and architecture are sublime. A classic marriage of Eastern and Western sensibilities. The chairs feature McGuire’s signature woven rawhide binding, generous seats, and gracefully curved armrests. The rattan has a dark tobacco color and tone that is difficult to appreciate until you see it in person. Designed by John & Elinor McGuire in the 1950s, we estimate the birth of these beauties between 1950s and 1960s. Each chair has an etched brass label with words "McGuire San Francisco".

Featuring Craftsman details, the Balboa Chair is classic form that could fit many different spaces. Strong and architectural, its dramatic shape and detailed craftsmanship command attention. The arms curve to meet the back of the chair with a signature woven rawhide binding; the lines of the backrest are echoed strikingly by the lines of the armrests. Finished in Dark Tobacco loose loose seat cushions. The armchairs have the additional lower back pillows.

John and Elinor McGuire were breakthrough innovators. Imaginative and uncompromising, they mixed incredible materials, forms, texture and ideas to create furniture and environments that were chic and timeless. They had an innate sense of everything that defined California casual.
