Description
In the mid to late ‘70s Lowrey was King of the Home organ.Lowrey created a new
division to open Lowrey Organ Centers in another 70’s phenomena, The Shopping Mall.
Lowrey Mall Development (LMD) was formed to negotiate leases with major mall developers and then lease them back to dealers. By some count there were over 175 Lowrey Organ Centers under the LMD umbrella.
These stores had a similar vibe and a truly 70’s décor to them. (Including a giant shag rug that hung on a wall.)
Pictured and offered for your consideration a pair of Genuine Lowrey Mall Development chairs found in Lowrey Organ Centers throughout the world.
When
Seijiro Imamura
, final president of Lowrey, visited our store a few years ago he asked,
“Why we had the same chairs as the office?”
The answer is found in the deep history many Royal Music employees shared with Lowrey as a brand that pre-dated the purchase by Kawai in 1988.
We were Lowrey Cool before Kawai thought Lowrey was cool enough to buy.
These chairs have held most all of the famous (and less than famous) Lowrey artists over the years. Larry Ferrari, Dennis Awe, Seth Rye and a host of others have all taken a seat in one of these two chairs either in Lowrey Organ Center in the Ocean County Mall; Toms River, NJ or at Royal Music in the years that followed.
For the discerning Lowrey organ collector this is the opportunity to own a true piece of Lowrey Nostalgia. Very few of these chairs remain in their original condition including the earth tone the 1970’s were so famous for. (They’re brown.)
They would look awesome flanking a restored vintage Lowrey such as a Celebration C-500 / H25-4 or a Lowrey MX-1 and would look just as nice as occasional chairs complimenting the newest Lowrey Aria.
Car collectors call this a “barn find”. Lowrey aficionados know this is a treasure of a find.
Local pick up is preferred.
If shipping is required I am happy to deliver these to the Craters & Freighters in Middlesex, NJ. They are able to pack and ship just about anything and can make sure these arrive in the same condition they leave our warehouse in Middletown ,NJ.
Feel free to ask all questions. These chairs have been with me since 1988 and I hope they find a home with another Lowrey Organ Lover.
