	29/04/2010 Macao Garden Set From the time he was discovered in 1941 until his death in 1999 American designer and architect Tony Duquette was known and admired for his exuberante signature style. Cast from resin, the Macao Garden Seat was used extensively in Duquette's interior and outdoor installations. Duquette loved the versatility of the design, which easily adapted from seating to a table wherever needed. He painted them in brilliant coral or stark white for just a pop of color. Keeping true to the original, Baker chose Coral or Pearl Lacquer to complete the piece. Circa 1960.
