Wendell Castle and His Molar Setee

Noted furniture designer, Wendell Castle just celebrated his 80th birthday in November. Castle is often called the father of the art furniture movement. Weisshouse was lucky enough to acquire one of his iconic pieces, the Molar Settee. One of the top ten designers in the world, Castle really pushes the envelope with his designs. The New York Times featured Castle in October. Read the complete article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/18/garden/four-exhibits-celebrate-wendell-castles-80th-birthday.html?_r=0. 
On turning 80, Castle said, "It’s weird,” he said. “I have no idea what 80 feels like but I certainly do not feel old. I have all my hair and I still play a very good game of tennis three times a week, year-round, with guys 30 to 40 years younger than I am.” The Molar Settee (shown below) was designed in 1969 and can be purchased at our showroom.
