As part of our new lighting collection for Visual Comfort, Thomas informed me that he has named a fixture after me!  Despite the obvious reason for this being a must-have lamp, I am especially fond of the traditional form made modern through the choice of materials.  I was lucky enough to see it in person when we were down in High Point for Market and not only was this lamp featured but the entire new line was there to view.  Stay tuned for more new pieces from the line, and be the first of your friends to own this lamp!

AERO Essentials: Number 3 of 5

Hallings Secretary
by Thomas O'Brien for Hickory Chair

39" x 20.5" x 71.75"
Standard Antique Ivory Finish with interior Classic Finish
$5,670.00












As striking open as it is closed, the spare lines of this sophisticated secretary recall the chic style of a 1940’s French design. The understated case is raised by a subtle saber leg, topped by a discreet hinged compartment and finished standard in Antique Ivory. The secretary’s interior is executed in richly toned kingwood with a Classic finish interior and is outfitted with a variety of drawers, round ring pulls, Hepplewhite knobs and a leather-insert desktop.

If you are looking to achieve the classically modern look of a Thomas O'Brien room this piece is definitely an essential!
