With many accolades and awards under their belt, Tuohy Furniture Corporation located in Chatfield, Minn., does not rest on its laurels.  Continuously designing and creating high-quality furniture has been the trademark of the company for over 70 years. 

Founder Joseph F. Tuohy had the talent, ingenuity and foresight to begin Tuohy Furniture Corporation in 1954.  To find new and exciting opportunities, Joseph sent his 17-year-old son F. Mike to the New York market to research and gain a perspective of the market as a whole.

Mike recognized the opportunities the city offered a company making high-end furniture. 

Keeping that tradition alive by leading the company in today’s market are Michael P. Tuohy and Dan Tuohy.  “My brother and I grew up working in the business and all facets of it; learning maintenance to mowing the yard to working in sanding and milling,” stated Michael.  “It was always a passion I guess, that’s why we stayed in it.” 

Tuohy Furniture products are used in private offices, open-plan offices, C-suites and additional areas, furnishing large board room tables with integrated power built in as well as tables for smaller meeting rooms and other uses.  

Tuohy’s also offers modern seating options from soft seating, lounge seating and stools. With many options to choose from, Tuohy’s can give your office space the exact feel you’re looking for, while offering comfort and value at the same time. 

Tuohy’s will complete smaller jobs for a single office all the way up to entire floors with 500 to 800 offices. 

Tuohy Furniture Corporation sells products around the world and ships products around the world. “Our primary markets are in the U.S., but we do some global and international shipping as well,” explained Michael.

“We have been quite fortunate to do some large jobs overseas, which is a testament to our team here.  We are in Chatfield, Minn., it is a rural area, they made product that is in some amazing places, let alone in the U.S., but around the world.  I’m really proud of that, because that’s our team, I think that’s pretty cool,” noted Michael.

“We’re kind of spoiled here.  We get to live in a great area; in my opinion this is a great area, and we get to manufacture products and put them in some of the most prestigious buildings in the U.S.  And that’s not me, it’s not my grandfather who started the company, it’s not my father, it’s not my brother.  It is literally the people who live in this area that build those products.  I get a little emotional on that part,” Michael expressed.

“I can’t drop name …. but people we all know, or big companies we all know, or famous people, we get to do their offices and it’s the people here who did it. It isn’t some mysterious place who knows where, it’s built in the U.S., we try to source everything we can in the U.S. and it’s pretty cool that we still have that opportunity,” stated Michael.

The team at Tuohy Furniture Corporation practices modern engineering and sources high-quality materials to create an elegant and valued finished product. 

“Over the decades, the company’s purpose has remained the same – to provide furnishings that make people’s lives more productive, pleasing and treasured,” states the company website, tuohyfurniture.com. 

With showrooms in Chicago, Ill., New York City, N.Y. and Washington, D.C., Tuohy Furniture Corporation and its products are well-known and utilized by businesses of all types around the United States and far beyond.  Tuohy Furniture also has Partner Showrooms in several locations throughout the country. 

The team at Tuohy Furniture was proud to earn a Best in Show at NeoCon, which was held in June in Chicago, Ill. “NeoCon is where the biggest ideas and boldest innovations debut, with over 400 leading and emerging companies unveiling thousands of groundbreaking new products,” according to neocon.com. Tuohy’s was also awarded an Interior Design Magazine HiP (Honoring Industry People) Award at NeoCon. 

Tuohy Furniture Corporation employs 140 people in Chatfield, Minn. and an additional 40 people in Park Falls, Wisc. where the veneer plant is located.
