At the Spring 2025 High Point Market, we sat down with Tim Newlin, President and CEO of Norwalk Furniture, to talk about their exciting new collection, Studio 1902. The branded name is a tribute to the year Norwalk was founded, and the concept behind it is simplicity and flexibility with modern styling.
A Nod to Norwalk Furniture’s Heritage with Studio 1902
“Studio 1902 is really about going back to our roots,” Newlin shared. “It’s designed to make it easy to enter the Norwalk brand.” The collection includes just five groups, 35 SKUs, and 55 fabric options, streamlined and designed for endless customization.
Studio 1902 is Created to Mix, Match, and Play with Custom Upholstery
One highlight is a clever two-piece design that transforms into a sofa, loveseat, slipper chair, or even a dramatic U-shaped sectional. The collection also brings playful energy with floor pillows, poufs, and swivel chairs, perfect for mixing and matching. “This consumer loves variety and doesn’t want everything to be the same,” Newlin explained. “Our design team carefully coordinated the styles and fabrics so designers and consumers can create curated, custom looks.”
Sustainable Furniture Made without Harmful Chemicals for Healthier Homes
Beyond style, Norwalk Furniture is committed to sustainability and craftsmanship. Every piece is hand-built in Norwalk, Ohio by an employee-owned team of skilled artisans. Over half of the fabrics are domestically produced, and 70% of construction materials are sourced within eight hours of the factory. As members of the Sustainable Furniture Council, Norwalk follows strict environmental standards, ensuring products are free from harmful chemicals.
American-Made Quality Furniture That Lasts a Lifetime
“Our focus is on heirloom quality, not landfill quality,” Newlin emphasized. With artisan upholstery work and timeless designs, Norwalk’s furniture is built to last a lifetime.
For designers and homeowners alike, Norwalk Furniture’s Studio 1902 offers approachable luxury, thoughtful details, and American-made quality you can trust. This new collection is a celebration of both Norwalk’s tradition and its future.
