Goldberg reports that details of Shaver Howard's late '60s purchase of BOYEUR SCOTT account for  the sketchy paper trail that surrounds the production of \u003ci\u003eGranada\u003c\/i\u003e. While the buy-up made it a wholly-owned subsidiary, in the short term BOYUER SCOTT continued to operate under its own imprint, maintaining its own manufacturing. It was only over the next couple of years that BOYUER SCOTT was fully subsumed and the manufacturing of \u003ci\u003eGranada\u003c\/i\u003e moved to Shaver Howard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eARTHUR UMANOFF\u003c\/b\u003e graduated from Brooklyn's Pratt Institute in the early '50s and soon after produced his first designs for Post Modern Ltd., a Long Island concern where he was a founding partner along with fellow designer Tony Paul. He was involved there in all phases of the design process—from concept to prototyping and use-testing (in his own home), through to merchandising and marketing. Both Umanoff's and Paul's early designs for Post Modern, Ltd. were distributed by the Elton Co. of New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wrought-iron and slat furniture that most people recognize as Umannoff's work—chairs, tables, bars, and bar carts—was produced by Shaver Howard, a company he designed for from 1954 well into the '70s. A firm called Storkline produced some of his Shaver Howard pieces on a reduced scale as children’s furniture in 1961, dubbing the collection \u003ci\u003eLittle Shavers\u003c\/i\u003e. The inclusion of a miniaturized rattan bar raised eyebrows in the press, but Umanoff deflected criticism by referring to it as a \"milk bar.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWork for Madison Furniture Industries of Canton, Mississippi, began in 1963. Umanoff's designs for the Howard Miller Clock Co. of Zeeland, Michigan, first appear in 1964. During the '70s his designs are produced by an increasing number of companies including Directional, Thonet, Dillingham Furniture, Rouse\/Jackson, and David Morgan. In addition to Tony Paul, Umanoff maintained a lifelong friendship with designer Ben Seibel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker – \u003cb\u003eBOYUER SCOTT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction Period – \u003cb\u003e197Os\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigner – \u003cb\u003eARTHUR UMANOFF\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign Period – \u003cb\u003e1975\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin – \u003cb\u003eUSA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyles\/Movements – \u003cb\u003eBOHO CHIC; MEDITERRANEAN; MODERN\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials – \u003cb\u003eFABRIC, IRON\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColors – \u003cb\u003eGOLDENROD, BLACK\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition – \u003cb\u003eExcellent vintage condition.
