Stuart Parr’s Manhattan Loft, with custom shelving for his collection of Warren McArthur Furniture.  

Parr is the world’s expert on McArthur furniture.  After he witnessed the sale of a pricey aluminum chair, he turned it over to read the label, Warren McArthur, Rome, New York.  The following day, he traveled to Rome and “expected to find McArthur furniture everywhere…  I was so depressed”  Later, Parr tracked down some of the factory workers to get a better grasp on the pieces produced by McArthur.  Today, Parr has the exclusive rights to reproduce McArthur’s designs.

Warren McArthur was an early pioneer of aluminum streamlined furniture, as well as anodization and coloring of aluminum.  A graduate of Cornell University, he set up a factory in Rome, NY that produced these remarkable streamlined pieces.
