About Magnussen Furniture
Founded in 1931, the Magnussen family has been
committed to blending the fine qualities that they value in life
into the fine furniture they offer their customers. Integrity.
Ingenuity. Style. Dedication. Magnussen delivers more than the
norm. At Magnussen Home, they go "BEYOND THE EXPECTED."
From the beginning as a small furniture company in Ontario,
Canada, Magnussen has evolved into a full line furniture resource
with offices in Ontario, Canada; High Point, NC; Riverside, CA;
and, the Far East. Their business is creating furniture designs of
exceptional style, value and beauty. Magnussen produces these
designs in partnership with their manufacturing partners around the
world that meet exacting standards for superior quality at the best
possible value.
The foundation of Magnussen's success is built on the company's
core values of trust, honesty, and respect. Each of my teammates at
Magnussen Home participates in the success of the company and is
eager to ensure that their furniture products enrich the homes of
customers with their exceptional style and workmanship.
An unrivaled value in home furnishings -- this is the commitment
that they renew everyday to consumers who invite Magnussen Home
into their lives. Magnussen sources their designs from only the
finest home furnishings manufacturers, many in the Far East and
Central America.
Even as the company has grown larger, the principles of a
family-run business -- trust, honesty and respect -- continue to be
its foundation. The company was founded in 1931 by Ingwer
Magnussen. A cabinetmaker by trade and a craftsman and businessman
by heart, Ingwer took the bold initiative to start his own business
in Kitchener, Ontario, when he was unable to find work during the
1930s depression. He beautifully and intricately carved show wood
for sofa frames for upholstery manufacturers and his business grew
into a good-sized company serving Canada.
Richard Magnussen, Ingwer's son, joined the company in 1970 at the
age of 20. Richard steered the company's focus on expansion and
growth, enabling Magnussen Furniture to become Canada's largest
supplier of occasional tables. In 1986, Richard founded
Presidential Furniture, a division of Magnussen Furniture, to serve
the U.S. market. In 1986, the company began trading as
Magnussen-Presidential Furniture, which became one of the most
progressive occasional furniture suppliers in North America. With
an eye to detail and an understanding of the worth of exclusive
designs, Richard built relationships with international
manufacturers from around the world and tapped a huge growth
opportunity. Magnussen-Presidential Furniture began importing from
the Orient a decade before fashion trends and design styles in the
furniture business made it in vogue to do so.
In 2002, Magnussen-Presidential Furniture became Magnussen Home.
The addition of "Home" reflects what Magnussen offers as a company
-- fine furniture, designed and created by a family of craftsmen
from around the world, to fill the most important rooms in your
home.
Details are important... even down to where you will set a water
glass. They have a passion for details. It stems from how Magnussen
runs their company, grows into the conveniences they design into
their furniture, and blooms into the relationships built with their
valued dealers.
Magnussen designs every piece of furniture that carries the
Magnussen Home name. Magnussen
Furniture understand that finishing touches like
intricately carved woodwork or ironwork do more than complete the
look of a piece of furniture; they set the tone of your home.
Magnussen furniture does more than fill a home. It expresses who we
are.
