Mr. Hutton was the firm design director from 1978-1998 and was responsible for many of the now iconic Donghia designs produced during that period. While Hutton’s talent was always recognized within design and architectural circles, this influential modern designer’s work is finally becoming more commonly recognized and appreciated by the mainstream.

Stout, sturdy, comfortable and built for heavy routine use. Breathtaking organic jewelry designed to anchor an important dining room. Excellent restored condition. Professionally cleaned and re-lacquered; the rattan has aged to absolute perfection. All leather accents and rush wicker veneer is intact and complete. Retains the maker mark.
