Munder-Skiles Furniture Company




Prior to becoming a vice chairperson of the New York Botanical Garden, Marjorie G. Rosen attended the University of Cincinnati in Ohio, where she earned a BA in liberal arts. Marjorie Rosen began her career in horticulture by designing hanging garden containers under her brand, Arts Britannia, Ltd. which were eventually sold through the Munder-Skiles Company.

Established in 1992, the Munder-Skiles Company started by producing quality garden furniture designed by John Danzer that has been showcased in Elle Décor and Architectural Digest Magazine. Danzer’s curiosity about garden furniture design began as just a recreational interest, but soon developed into a passion; he studied the best ideas and collections in outdoor furniture and began coming up with his own designs. 

In 1994, Danzer’s design for his Taconic Chair was named the “Best American Chair” and received the Roscoe Award. Danzer began adding outdoor furnishings and accessories to the Munder-Skiles line, including Ms. Rosen's hanging baskets.
