American manufacturer McGuire Furniture was founded by John and Elinor McGuire in 1948. The couple designed using bamboo, rawhide and aluminum and soon the San Francisco based company became known for its California Casual design appeal. McGuire was sold to Chicago Pacific in 1986 and John and Elinor retired. The company is now owned by the Kohler Co., who acquired it in 1989. Vintage McGuire Furniture, Chairs, Tables, Lamps and other designs remain popular today.
Town & Country magazine would write, "A McGuire in the drawing room is on par with a Rolls in the garage." Some of the first McGuire designs are now part of the permanent Smithsonian Collection at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York City.

With their patented invention of applying rawhide to bind the rattan and the introduction of color to the rattan, they created the most uniquely designed and fashionable rattan furniture on the market. The McGuire collection grew over the years to include the use of different materials including willow, redwood, teak, special bamboos and Oriental hardwood. With their keen sense of style and design excellence, John and Elinor created furniture which appeared in many of the finest residences, resorts, hotels, clubs, restaurants and even in the Nixon White House and yacht.
