Happy Labor Day! An L.L. Bean / Manchester Wood Story

The first Manchester Wood Adirondack Chair circa 1984.

This Labor Day it is my honor to celebrate the American working man and my grandfather, Clifford Pierce with an article released today on L.L.Bean, which I had the pleasure to write with Nathaniel Gibson.

Please enjoy the story of the birth of an iconic American made product and a symbol of American furniture to many:  the L.L. Bean Adirondack Chair created by Manchester Wood.

Peace and blessings,
Luke Eriksen
Grandson of Manchester Wood’s founder Clifford Pierce, and son of its owners, Ed and Priscilla Eriksen.
