Founded in 1945, Henredon is one of the more recently minted of the top-tier North Carolina furniture makers. Among collectors, Henredon is admired both for its sleek, sexy sofas, dining tables and other furniture of the 1970s and for its partnerships with noted designers, a program that began in the 1950s with decorating icon Dorothy Draper and architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
From the start, Henredon has been best known for its bedroom furniture and vintage case pieces, such as cabinets, dressers, armoires and credenzas. The brand was established in Morganton by former Drexel Furniture Company executives, and its name is a portmanteau term, derived from the first names of three of the company’s founders — T. Henry Wilson, Ralph Edwards and Don VanNoppen. (Sterling Collett, a fourth figure mentioned in Henredon Furniture’s history, chaired the company and served as treasurer).
Though not on the cutting edge stylistically, Henredon’s production — as well as its output under the Heritage-Henredon label — has always kept pace with contemporary tastes.
In 1953, High Point manufacturer Heritage began a collaboration with Dorothy Draper, famed for bravura interior design commissions such as the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco and the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia. Her taste for bold, modernized historical style is reflected in the incised baroque medallions of her España line and the geometric motif of her Viennese furnishings group. In 1955, Henredon launched the Taliesin Ensemble by Wright, named after the architect’s houses in Wisconsin and Arizona. Taliesin dressers and coffee tables are recognizable by their angular shapes and a dentil motif on their edges. In those years, Henredon had a cross-licensing agreement with Heritage, and Draper and Wright's furniture is usually labeled Heritage-Henredon.
In later decades, Henredon produced collections for such designers as Ralph Lauren and Laura Ashley. The company took a stylish turn in the 1970s, fabricating new and unusual forms like mirrored room dividers and console tables with rounded corners and burl-wood veneers. Such pieces are priced in the $3,000 to $4,000 range, as are chests of drawers by Draper. Wright furniture tends toward the higher end, priced around $7,000. Henredon was an aesthetically diverse maker, but its furniture commands attention and makes a statement in any eclectic decor.
The vintage Henredon furniture for sale on 1stDibs includes bedroom furniture, coffee tables, chairs and other pieces.

Brutalist Belgian Slatted Oak Dining Table w/ Rounded Legs Attributed to DePuydt
By De Puydt
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Heavy solid oak dining table attributed to Belgian maker De Puydt, featuring the robust, uncompromising construction characteristic of Belgian Brutalist furniture. The thick rectangular top sits on four substantial cylindrical legs that terminate in distinctive rounded, pointed feet with small metal glides. Pronounced oak grain runs across the top surface, with the amber-toned wood deepened through age. The design favors weight and materiality over ornamentation — no hardware, no decorative trim, just raw structural oak. De Puydt was among the Belgian workshops producing heavy, craft-forward oak furniture during the 1960s and 1970s, a period when Brutalist principles extended from architecture into domestic furnishings across Belgium and the Netherlands. The emphasis on mass, natural materials, and honest construction reflected a broader regional design sensibility that pushed back against the slick refinement of Scandinavian modernism. The table shows visible wear and fading to the top surface, consistent with age and use. Shown with a matching set of 4 Brutalist Oak De Puydt dining chairs...
