Super Cute NZ Made 'Forum' Dining Suite by Unimac
This dining suite from Unimac Furniture is all about organic curves and tripod forms. The curved backs and seats of the dining chairs offer ergonomic support to the back and emphasise the circular form of the table which creates a rhythmic arrangement and an intimate dining space.
Unimac furniture derived its sleek, organic forms from the values of Scandinavian mid century furniture design. This design is a local interpretation of Hans Wegner's iconic 'Heart' dining suite of 1952. It's a rare find and a perfect addition to any contemporary home or bach.
Each piece is checked and carefully hand restored at our Kingsland studio workshop. Our focus is preserving the character and patina of the design while ensuring it displays beautifully in a contemporary interior.

In 1925 I.R. McIntosh commenced business in a small shed in Garfield St, Parnell. Later that year the business moved to a space behind the shops on the corner of Mt Eden and Shackleton Rd. By 1927 continual expansion meant building a new 2000 sq ft factory at Mortimer Pass in Newmarket. Steady growth meant another move in 1945 to a new factory Auburn St.
By the 1950s I.R. McIntosh's two sons became involved in management of the business. Under their guidance new production techniques and forward looking modern furniture designs were developed. Today Unimac furniture is a rare find and good examples are coveted by collectors of modernist New Zealand Furniture.
