Gordon Mather Industries : Australian made furniture for home and office. Tables, Chairs, Stools, Seats, Cabinets and Accessories : Melbourne. GMI are Featherston Furniture specialists, offering a range of beautiful Featherston designs.
Grant Featherston, born Geelong Victoria, began his design background in lighting, decorative glass, jewellery and manufacturing equipment which led to the design and manufacture of one of the most iconic furniture ranges seen to come out of Melbourne. Along with wife and design partner Mary, their collaboration with 'contemporary' Melbourne architect Robin Boyd introduced the Featherston designs into public spaces and continues to gain recognition from the design industry in 2005.
The Contour Series, from 1951-1955, was inspired by nature's organic forms. Grant designed this series to fit the natural curves of the human body. The clean, sculptural lines and visually light appearance work well as an addition to today's interiors.
Modern and elegant, the R160 Contour Armchair and Ottoman has become an icon of Australian furniture design.
Gordon Mather Industries P/L manufacture the Featherston pieces under a license agreement established in 1987.
