History
"Walter and his brother Doug, along with a private investor, founded Walter Nugent Designs in Oakville, Ontario ...
[...] Doug took over managing the business in 1968 to allow Walter to focus exclusively on design. In 1971 Walter's final design for the firm (#99) was for a plywood birch lathe-turned table and matching chair (without its customary steel core). Following disputes with investors, he left the company in 1973, although it continued to produce chairs until it closed in 1976."
