The Kantan Collection was originally designed for Brown Jordan in the 1950s by Tadao Inouye and was chosen by the Department of Commerce to be a part of the U.S. exhibit at the 1959 Industrial World’s Fair in Tokyo. “Kantan also won an award from Alcoa, because aluminum back then was brand-new for outdoor,” Elton describes. “Leaf through old LIFE magazines and Saturday Evening Posts, and you’ll see shots of it with the Kennedys, Bob Hope and William Holden. It’s truly a classic.”-Fairfield
