Seats of Shaker Innovation: The Peculiar Grace of a Shaker Chair

August 16, 7:00 PM

Whether as a source for Danish modern design; as a subject of painting, photographs, and sculpture; or simply as a popular product to be copied, Shaker chairs have inspired a host of manufacturers, designers, and artists. Sharon Koomler, an author and lecturer on Shaker life and furniture, will explore the stories of these influences and noted Shaker furniture scholar Tim Reiman will bring along examples of chairs from the Museum’s collection and elsewhere to discuss. Presented in collaboration with the Lebanon Valley Historical Society.
