THF810310 / La-Z-Boy Chair Company Reclining Chair and Ottoman, 1941
01
Artifact Overview
This reclining chair was one of the first upholstered chairs produced by La-Z-Boy co-founders Edwin Shoemaker and Edward Knabusch. The earliest La-Z-Boys featured a patented reclining system and included a separate ottoman. Later technical refinements would produce a built-in footrest, eliminating the need for an ottoman and leading to the modern La-Z-Boy recliner.
