One hundred and three brand guides to furniture — design houses, chair makers, outdoor furniture and design clocks.
Furniture makers often trade on the place they make. These guides look at each maker and where its pieces come from, with honest caveats where the record is thin.
Chairs and where they are made
Tecta makes tubular-steel cantilever chairs in Lauenförde; Tendo Mokko makes moulded plywood in Yamagata; Thos. Moser hand-signs hardwood chairs in Maine; Tolix stamps its galvanized-steel chair in Autun; and Hida Sangyo makes compressed-cedar chairs in Takayama.
Outdoors and on the wall
Fermob makes powder-coated steel chairs in Thoissey; Dedon, which invented modern woven outdoor furniture, weaves in its own factory in the Philippines; and Loll Designs makes outdoor furniture from recycled milk jugs in Duluth. Solari di Udine, maker of the split-flap clock, traces its history to 1725.
How to use these guides
Each guide covers a maker’s visual identity — its signature piece, material and voice — as design commentary, and notes where facts could not be fully confirmed. The table at the end gathers the essentials.
