Edward Wormley, born in Oswego, New York, in 1907, was an influential American furniture design.
In 1931, Wormley began his long and successful association with the Dunbar Furniture Corporation of Berne, Indiana. Each piece was handcrafted. He continued to design for Dunbar even after its sale in the 1950s, until his retirement in the 1960s.
Edward Wormley opened his own design firm, Edward Wormley and Associates, in New York in 1944, with Dunbar Furniture remaining his principal client.
In 1948, he collaborated with Salvador Dalí, Ray Eames, and George Nelson to create a line of textiles for the company Schiffer Prints.
