Founders Furniture Company
Founders Furniture Company was a short-lived 20th-century American brand that produced enduring mid-century modern designs. The company's streamlined dressers, lounge chairs and coffee tables feature solid wood construction and simple but elegant designs.
The history of Founders Furniture Company began in 1946 when it was established as a subsidiary of Knoll Inc., an esteemed manufacturer known mainly at the time for its pioneering workplace furniture — largely owing to the work of visionary designer Florence Knoll — so it launched Founders as its residential division.
During its years of operation, Founders hired celebrated American modernist designers like Milo Baughman and David Parmelee, who created sleek commodes and sideboards in mahogany and rosewood for the brand. Michigan native Jack Cartwright, a designer at Heritage during the 1950s, also worked at Founders as head designer before moving on to start his eponymous furniture company in 1963.
Founders continued operations until 1965 when Thomasville Furniture acquired it. Established in 1904 in North Carolina — home to other iconic mid-century brands such as Drexel and Broyhill — Thomasville expanded significantly during the 1960s and purchased several other American furniture manufacturers.
Today, the timeless styles and exceptional craftsmanship associated with Founders Furniture Company pieces continue to render them desirable even for today’s interiors.

- Mid-Century Modern Square Walnut Cocktail Coffee End Side Table Style FoundersBy Founders Furniture CompanyLocated in Topeka, KSHandsome and versatile Mid-Century Modern walnut cocktail table, coffee table, side table, or end table in the style of Founders Furniture. It is made of solid walnut and in fabulous vintage condition. We have professionally restored the top and refreshed the base. Please see photos, circa 1960s-1970s. Oh my! The graining of the walnut on this table is so gorgeous! But then I am partial to walnut. How could you not be? So…that combined with this table’s versatility…you can’t go wrong. It is comprised of a solid walnut base made up of four square legs and four square stretchers with a solid walnut square top that overhangs the base equally on all sides. Simple yet stunning. Its height and size are such that it can be used as a cocktail/coffee table or end/side table.
