Mid-century furniture by Myer 'Heritage' (Australia)

Myer Heritage furniture was a range of high-quality, Australian-made furniture that was produced by the Myer department store chain from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. The furniture was designed by Fred Ward, who was one of Australia's most prominent furniture designers of the time. Ward was inspired by the European modernism of the time, and his designs for Myer Heritage were characterized by their clean lines, simple forms, and use of natural materials, such as Tasmanian blackwood and walnut. The furniture was also designed to be functional and durable.

Myer Heritage furniture was popular with Australia's emerging middle class, who were looking for modern and stylish furniture that was also affordable. The furniture was sold in Myer department stores and it was also exported to New Zealand and other countries. In the early 1960s, Myer ceased production of Myer Heritage furniture. This was due more... to a number of factors, including changes in consumer tastes and the increasing popularity of imported furniture. However, Myer Heritage furniture remains highly sought-after by collectors and vintage furniture enthusiasts. less...
