Thonet has been shaping bentwood furniture since Michael Thonet began experimenting with the process in 1830, and today it designs and manufactures commercial furniture in the United States. Its American production began in Statesville, North Carolina, in 1941, and the company now hand-builds contemporary designs alongside enduring bent plywood pieces in its U.S. workshops. The company’s work carries a distinctive design lineage that includes collaborations with architects such as Otto Wagner, Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe.

• BeachleySince 1887, Hagerstown-based Beachley has crafted custom American-made commercial furniture and millwork for corporate, hospitality, and institutional spaces. Working from architectural drawings or even a rough sketch, its millworkers, upholsterers, and finishers build each project to address design challenges that standard production furniture cannot. Beachley manufactures for customers across the continental United States.HAGERSTOWN, MD
• Heller FurnitureFounded in 1971 after Alan Heller brought Massimo and Lella Vignelli’s stackable dinnerware to America, Heller Furniture makes modern furniture and housewares that pair playful, accessible design with practical durability. The company expanded into furniture in 1998 and now works with designers including Mario Bellini and Frank Gehry, with its furniture proudly made in the USA. Heller’s designs have entered museum collections worldwide, while newer pieces such as Bill Curry’s reimagined Honeycomb shelving extend the brand’s interest in regenerative materials and adaptable forms.NEW YORK, NY
• Lion’s WoodLion’s Wood is a privately held American manufacturer whose Baltimore factory turns hospitality visions into one-of-a-kind commercial furniture. Rather than working from a catalog, its team collaborates with venues from early sketches through production, building each project to order and adapting it to the space and its daily demands.BALTIMORE, MD
• KnollSince Hans Knoll founded the company in 1938, Knoll has been known for treating furniture as part of architecture rather than as isolated objects. Florence Knoll formalized that idea through the company’s Planning Unit and its Total Design approach, a legacy that still guides its modern interiors for workplaces and other commercial settings.EAST GREENVILLE, PA
