Grant Featherston

Grant Stanley Featherston (17 October 1922 – 9 October 1995) was an Australian furniture designer whose chair designs in the 1950s became icons of the Atomic Age.

[1] In 1965 he married Mary Bronwyn Currey, an English-born interior designer, and the couple worked in close partnership as interior designers over several decades.

[3] He marketed his modernist chairs through art galleries including Peter Bray Gallery in Melbourne and they are now highly collectable on a par with fine art[4] and in 2013 began to attain high prices at auction.

His work has been featured in several museum retrospectives of post-war furniture,[7][8] including the National Gallery of Victoria 2013 exhibition, Mid-Century Modern Australian Furniture Design.
