Description

Kodawood is probably best known for its 'clamshell' chairs so described for their seat and backs which are positioned like an open clam. Interestingly, the name of the design is actually the 'Oyster Chair'. Weiner's chair was a hit, with its shells upholstered in unique eye-catching fabrics (using his patented technique) selling thousands and propelling the Kodawood look across the country.
