(1960s) It doesn't get any more OA than this famous custom dining table and chair set. For decades, only privileged status gave one entrée to the backstage areas at Oceanic Arts. The heart of the backstage is the OA Lunchroom. For decades, Bob Van Oosting and LeRoy Schmaltz have held court at this dining table. Practically every famous Tiki carver, from Barney West to Ed Crissman and Milan Guanko have broken bread and sipped a few cocktails at this table. Every day, Bob and LeRoy took their lunch here and many a party was thrown in this room. Tiki entrepreneurs including Donn Beach, Robert Carter, Marvin Chin, Jack Thornton and Steve Crane dined at this table. Vince Buono, George Nakashima and Florian Gabriel lifted Mai Tais and sketched ideas sitting here. This gorgeous set was custom designed by Bob and LeRoy. The chairs were taken from the original order of custom designed chairs for The Coconut Palace restaurant at The Coco Palms. Six chairs were set aside for the OA lunchroom before the order was shipped to Kauai. The Danish modern styled table was custom made with trim carved by LeRoy. The top is black formica with a polished aluminium base. There is some wear to the chairs with some loose arms, worn or missing peel wrap and some breaks in some of the cane screen. All of this can be restored easily by a good rattan and cane specialist. We know of two here in Los Angeles. Overall, the set of six chairs and the table are in excellent condition considering the amount of use they have had. There are many photos and films of the OA crew dining and partying on this very set. An absolute treasure for not only the beauty and design, but for its very special pedigree. Special freight considerations. TABLE: 31"x67"x36.5", CHAIRS: 39"x26"x23". VG+ with typical wear from use. Some breakage in the cane screen backings. Wear to the table top and chairs.
