Tuohy Furniture

What Tuohy Furniture does

Tuohy Furniture is a third-generation family-owned American manufacturer of custom wood contract furniture, headquartered and produced in Chatfield, Minnesota. The company designs, engineers, and builds casegoods, conference tables, seating, and integrated power solutions for private and open corporate offices, meeting and collaboration spaces, and hospitality environments. Its product portfolio spans roughly 50+ named SKUs across collections such as Fargo, Danza, Uku, Geneva, Tacoma, Francis, Moderna, Enfold, Coda, and Edo, with much of the line developed in collaboration with external designers including Mark Goetz, John Nelson, Populous, Bill Raftery, II by IV Design, Metrica Design, and 5D Studio.

The company's manufacturing stack combines handcraftsmanship with selected automation, anchored by its wholly-owned subsidiary Saunders Wood Specialties, which produces every veneer panel in-house to control color, grain matching, and layup quality. Core technical capabilities include book-matched and slip-matched veneer selection, English dovetail joinery, a water-reducible acrylic wood finish, the Precision Assembly System (PAS) for non-mitered case construction, miter-fold construction for seamless surfaces, and parametric manufacturing that resizes each component in width, depth, and height. Product durability is supported by FSC Chain-of-Custody certification (FSC-C017472) and SCS Indoor Advantage Gold certifications for casegoods and tables (2025).

Tuohy sells primarily through specification-driven channels: three company-owned showrooms (Chicago Merchandise Mart, New York City, Washington DC), a sales representative network covering the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East, partner showrooms in select US states, and government procurement vehicles including GSA and state contracts (Georgia, Arizona, Alabama). Pricing is unit-based via downloadable price lists across Casegoods & Admin, Tables, Seating, Conference Room, and Power categories, with quotes required for custom configurations. The company employs 101–250 people across its Chatfield manufacturing operations and showroom offices.
