History lesson... The legendary Adirondack chair (a.k.a. the Westport Plank Chair) appeared on the scene in 1903 in the Adirondack mountains of New York. The design is attributed to Thomas Lee and it has become the epitome of northeast American rustic. Mr. Lee wanted a distinctive style of chair for his summer home in NY, so he developed several prototypes and asked his family to critique his creations. For all his models, he cut eleven panels from a single piece of wood and included the oversized armrests, which is one of the significant features of the Adirondack chair. Lee's chairs include a straight back and seat, slanted to improve sitting on the steep mountain inclines common to the mountainous Adirondack area.
After choosing his final pattern, Lee invited a friend
and hunting buddy, Harry Bunnell, to use his plans and build chairs over
the winter to supplement his off-season income. "Friend" Harry, thought
that Mr. Lee's chair design would be popular with Westport's summer crowd and
without Lee's knowledge, filed "his" invention with the U.S. Patent Office.
He received approval for his patent in 1905 and for twenty years Bunnell manufactured his "Westport
plank chair" offering two colors of brown or green.
The Adirondack chair is an essential piece of American garden furniture whose style has been incorporated into other furniture pieces such as love seats and chaise lounges. Adirondack chairs today can be replicas of Lee's straight back chair or have curved backs and contoured seats constructed from everything from teak to recycled plastic. For additional information, see Adirondack chair (Muskoka in Canada) in Wikipedia.
