The story behind the Grant Featherston Dining Chair An evolution of The Contour Chair, & released a year after its big brother, Grant Featherston's Dining Chair was seen as a sensation to the Australian public in the early 1950s. Took the most functional of furniture pieces; the chair you sit on as you eat, & turned it into something that was sculptural, beautiful & built with the user in mind. Featherston didn't understand why comfort had never been one of the main considerations when creating furniture for the dining room, & sought to bring the ergonomic principles that had become a hallmark of his other work into the dining chair genre. The result was one of the designs that he was always most proud of.
