Edward Wormley (American, December 31, 1907–November 3, 1995) was a noted furniture designer. Wormley began his education at the New York School of Interior Design through correspondence while he was still in high school. He went on to attend the Art Institute of Chicago from 1926 to 1928. In 1931, after studying at the institute, and taking a tour through Europe, Wormley was an interior designer at the Marshall Fields & Company department store. Soon thereafter, he left Marshall Fields to work for the Dunbar Furniture Company in Berne, IN, where he designed both traditional and modern furniture. In 1944, he was placed at the forefront of Dunbar's efforts to modernize its furniture lines. Wormley's modernization efforts incorporated design elements from a variety of European and Scandinavian sources, updating classic designs with modern innovations.
