Mid Century Modern Hinged "Companion" Telephone Set, Mid-20th Century

Item Details

This ingenious Mid Century Modern telephone set represents the height of mid-century functionalism, designed to fold into a single compact footprint. The unit is bench-made from solid hardwood with a warm amber finish and is connected by a heavy-duty steel piano hinge. The table component features a recessed top for secure placement of a rotary phone and an integrated shelf for directory storage. The coordinating chair features a distinctive wraparound slat back that, when folded, conforms to the table’s profile. The seat is padded and upholstered in its original deep burgundy ribbed corduroy. While the upholstery requires restoration due to historical wear and a tear in the dust cover, the rare mechanical design and sleek silhouette make this an exceptional find for collectors of novelty mid-century furniture.
