Daystrom Furniture Co. Chrome Wire Dining Chairs

Story

In the late 1960s, the world was looking toward the stars, and furniture designers responded by stripping away the heavy wood of the past in favor of shimmering metal and 'floating' forms.

Maker / Origin

Daystrom Furniture was a division of Daystrom, Inc., which famously moved its operations to South Boston, Virginia, in the 1940s, becoming the town's largest employer.

Condition & Value

The chrome appears bright and well-maintained with no obvious pitting or 'rust bloom' visible. The upholstery looks like a well-preserved vintage textile or a thoughtful later replacement; original vinyl is more common, but this fabric adds a softer, contemporary feel. Maintaining the chrome's luster is key to preserving value.
