Title: Set of Three ( 3 ) MCM Wrought Iron Bar Stools in Maple & Raffia Rope for by Arthur Umanoff for Raymor, USA, c. 1960s
About: This rare set of three Arthur Umanoff bar stools for Raymor captures the casual sophistication and organic modernism that defined his influential 1960s designs. Each counter-height stool features a graceful wrought iron frame with slender legs and a supportive square stretcher base. The sculptural, saddle-shaped seats are crafted from contoured maple slats paired with wrapped raffia rope, creating a distinctive woven texture and ergonomic comfort.
Arthur Umanoff was celebrated for blending natural materials with industrial elements, and these stools perfectly exemplify his signature style—lightweight yet sturdy, rustic yet refined. Produced for Raymor, a leading American manufacturer of the era known for high-quality decorative and casual furniture, the stools combine handcrafted warmth with durable construction.
Ideal for a kitchen island, home bar, or casual dining area, these versatile bar stools bring authentic mid-century character and practical elegance to any space. Their compact footprint and timeless appeal make them equally at home in mid-century modern, eclectic, or contemporary interiors.
