Welcome to the HOWE universe

 

We believe in a sense of movement at HOWE; the idea that what we do is not only moving the levels of craftsmanship or the confinements within design but also moving the people who use our furniture every day. This is why all chairs and tables from HOWE offer impeccable functionality.

MOVING DESIGN SINCE 1928

 

You can fold them. You can stack them. You can roll them any way that you want, optimizing the spaces in which we work, think, study, and communicate. Just as you can feel comfort in them; the look, the originality, the way form follows function to the very last detail. Time and time again.

 

We are HOWE and we believe in moving design. Since 1928.

A long successful journey

HOWE Furniture was founded in 1928 in Trumbull, Connecticut, by Harold Howe. HOWE started out making card tables, snack tables, bedside tables, folding cribs, wooden hat racks, sewing tables, and just about any furniture that folded. One early HOWE slogan was IF IT FOLDS, ASK HOWE.

 

Over the 20th century, HOWE became the leading brand of multi-usage and space-saving tables in North America. The slogan was TABLES = HOWE.

 

HOWE’s European organization started in the late 1960s on a license agreement. Later, in 1989, HOWE acquired the European licensee and its production facilities and operations in Middelfart, Denmark. HOWE Europe a/s became a reality. It manufactured chairs and tables.

The European organization expanded due to its A&D-focused strategy and strong product development. In 2011 we implemented ONE WORLD – ONE HOWE, meaning that the European HOWE overtook all the North American HOWE activities and began rolling out the European strategy and HOWE collection in North America.

 

Today all international HOWE activities are managed from Poland, with strong global sales and an extensive supply network. HOWE a/s has subsidiaries in USA, UK, France, and Poland. HOWE is owned by CF Group.
