We get a kick out of how some of our customers pronounce the name of this collection – putting a pause in the middle, so it sounds like "Ban Tam." No matter how you pronounce it (we say "Ban-TUM"), it remains one of our favorites. Influenced by the furnishings of Edward J. Wormley, the Bantam Collection (2004) celebrates the soft, less-machined brand of modernism that arose in the United States in the 1930s. Delivering physical comfort as well as aesthetic pleasure, the entire frame is lightly padded and finely upholstered with a fitted back and a single row of button tufting. Matching piping along the seams reinforces the clean lines of Bantam's frame. Made in U.S.A.

• Tapered solid wood legs available in coffee, walnut or honey stain.
