Ernest Hemingway - Hemingway for the Home - made by McKinley Leather Furniture

KEY WEST

Paris Runway

Inspired by Hemingway’s time in Key West during the 1920s-1930s and his travels to Paris and exotic locales, this group brings together the glamour of couture fashion with the tropical flair of an adventurous outdoor lifestyle. It also incorporates the non-conformist vibe of the Jazz Age and the signature style of the era’s Art Deco movement. Details reign supreme—each piece features at least one captivating element that adds charm.

Key West Life

Hemingway was a voracious reader, known to be immersed in several books at once. The written word was his passion as well as his life’s work.

Both reading and writing require peace and quiet—and comfort. To that end, this group features oversized, lush styling. With the Whitehead pieces, the shape of the back gently hugs and supports the shoulders, while the Pfeiffer piece features a generous pitch and specially designed arms for a relaxed reading position.

Key West Gang

It is said that Ernest Hemingway lived life to its fullest in Key West. He wrote in the mornings and then spent many an afternoon at the town taverns, in the company of several friends who were also his deep-sea fishing buddies. Each man was given a nickname and legend has it that’s how “Papa” became Hemingway’s.

This seating group was designed for congenial conversation. Recalling the latest adventure and retelling favorite stories, while comfortably seated, with a cold drink nearby.

Club Havana

Cuba is about 100 miles from Key West and Hemingway visited often, especially for fishing expeditions. Havana was a colorful, vibrant city in the 20s and 30s, a haven for artists, musicians, and writers. Known as the Paris of the Caribbean, it also offered rum during the Prohibition era and boasted a lively nightclub scene. This group portrays the color, vibrancy, and charm shared by both Key West and Cuba’s capital city.
