Our Mission
For furniture designers and co-founders, Khai and Tina, furniture craft is oxygen. At Nathan Anthony, the pieces we engineer, design and craft at our workroom in Los Angeles are made with passion, fearlessness and the intent to bring immense joy where people gather to sit among friends, nestle in with family, or retreat from the outside world.
We achieve this through six core principles: daring design, customization options, superior American craftsmanship, seamless service, a caring and diverse workplace, and respect for the environment.
Recognized for its mastery of upholstery craft, Nathan Anthony Furniture is a luxury furnishings resource for interior designers and upscale dealers. Award-winning designs are fully customizable and benchmade-to-order at the company’s Los Angeles based workroom. Personalization options include frame size, cushion fill, C.O.M. and other fabric-to-frame specifications, wood and metal finishes, and more. Nathan Anthony’s unique Design Concierge service includes a highly specialized team, on call to successfully facilitate custom projects and minimize errors.
Ranked among the top upholstery brands in the world, Nathan Anthony Furniture has been recognized for design excellence with six Design Awards, the most recent, a 2023 Metaverse Architecture & Design Award (MAD) by Interior Design magazine for Best Use of Blockchain and Tokens; Five consecutive International Architecture and Design awards by London-based design et al, and two Interior Design magazine’s Best of Year (BOY) Honoree awards for residential lounge seating in 2021 and 2019.
About Us
Established in 2005 by Khai and Tina, a dynamic duo of creative partners, Nathan Anthony Furniture derived its name from their beloved and cherished son, Nathan Anthony. Driven by their unwavering vision, Khai and Tina work alongside a remarkable and skilled team of local artisans and staff at their multi-generational Los Angeles facility. Having immigrated to the United States in 1975 via the USS Midway 41, Khai’s family established deep roots. In 1989, Khai and his father acquired an empty warehouse and embarked on their manufacturing journey, fueled by the pursuit of the American dream. Khai and Tina, who met during their high school years, tied the knot in 2000, and their story has since become an integral part of their design legacy.
Operations are guided by lean manufacturing principles and sustainable practices. The company has been a Sustainable Furnishings Council member since 2008. Nathan Anthony is a Business Partner with non-profit organization One Tree Planted, contributing a portion of its proceeds to reforestation and other climate positive initiatives. We hope you love Nathan Anthony furniture as much as we do. Welcome to the family!
