Made in USA Furniture

Why We're Passionate About American-Made Furniture

Being based in Pennsylvania, we're surrounded by a rich tradition of American craftsmanship. At HORNE, this isn't just a talking point—it's something we genuinely care about. When we partner with brands like Loll Designs, Eastvold Furniture, Emeco, and Workstead, we're not just stocking inventory; we're supporting a movement that values quality, innovation, and local manufacturing.

There's something satisfying about knowing exactly where your furniture comes from and who made it. From the sustainable practices of Loll Designs in Minnesota to the industrial heritage of Emeco right here in Central Pennsylvania, these brands represent what American design can be at its best.

What Makes American Furniture Different

American-made furniture has a particular character—it's not trying to be precious or untouchable. Instead, it combines modern aesthetics with the kind of durability that comes from generations of manufacturing expertise. The brands we work with aren't just following trends; they're setting them while maintaining a commitment to quality that you can actually feel. Whether you're looking for a perfect lounge chair for reading or just solid modern furniture that won't look dated in five years, these brands deliver.

Our featured brands each bring their own personality to American design:

Loll Designs has figured out how to make eco-friendly furniture that doesn't compromise on style. Their outdoor pieces are crafted from recycled materials, proving that sustainable can also mean stunning. I've watched their Adirondack chairs weather multiple seasons and still look like new.

Eastvold Furniture takes a more refined approach. Based in Minnesota, they work with responsibly sourced hardwoods to create pieces that feel both sleek and substantial. Their craftsmanship shows in the details—perfectly fitted joints, finishes that improve with age.

Emeco brings industrial heritage to modern homes. Their aluminum furniture, including that iconic Navy Chair, represents decades of innovation in manufacturing. What started as military specifications has evolved into timeless design that works in contemporary spaces.

Workstead approaches design from Brooklyn with a focus on materiality and refined craftsmanship. Their lighting and furniture pieces have this quality where you notice something new each time you look at them—a detail in the metalwork, the way shadows fall.

Furniture That Works for How We Actually Live

American-made furniture excels at being practical without sacrificing style. These pieces are designed for real homes where kids spill juice, friends gather for dinner parties, and daily life happens. The durability isn't just about lasting years—it's about looking good while doing it. My friend got this stool from Emeco three years ago and it still looks brand new despite her kids using it as everything from extra seating to a step ladder.

Whether you're furnishing a family home or creating a workspace that inspires productivity, these brands understand the balance between form and function. Their pieces adapt to different settings while maintaining their distinctive character.

Some Pieces We Can't Stop Recommending

The Loll Designs Adirondack Chair reimagines a classic for modern outdoor living. It's comfortable enough for long summer evenings but weather-resistant enough to leave outside year-round. Plus, knowing it's made from recycled materials adds to the satisfaction of owning it. Actually, whenever we have an outdoor furniture sale, their pieces are the first to go - people recognize quality when they see it.

The Eastvold Classic Credenza strikes that perfect balance between mid-century modern aesthetic and contemporary functionality. The clean lines work in various settings, while the storage capacity handles real-life needs.

I have a soft spot for the Emeco Navy Chair because of its history. Originally designed for Navy ships, it's now become a design icon. The lightweight aluminum construction means you can easily move it around, but it's engineered to last decades.

The Workstead Orbit Sconce demonstrates how thoughtful design enhances daily life. It provides excellent task lighting while serving as a sculptural element—the kind of piece that makes you appreciate good design every time you flip the switch.

Why Supporting American Manufacturing Matters

When you choose American-made furniture, you're making a statement about values—supporting skilled craftspeople, reducing environmental impact from shipping, and investing in quality that lasts. These aren't abstract concepts; they're reflected in every piece we carry.

The brands we work with employ local artisans, source materials responsibly, and manufacture with techniques that have been refined over generations. They're preserving traditional skills while pushing the boundaries of contemporary design.

More Than Just Furniture

Working with these American brands has taught us that good design is about more than aesthetics. It's about understanding how people live, work, and interact with their environments. These pieces become part of your daily routine—the chair you sit in for morning coffee, the credenza that organizes your life, the light that creates the perfect reading nook. Whether it's bedroom furniture and storage solutions or pieces for your living space, these brands understand how good design impacts your entire day.

The heritage of American craftsmanship runs deeper than manufacturing location. It's about an approach to design that values innovation, durability, and honest materials. These brands carry that tradition forward while creating furniture that feels completely current.
