Tuohy

Personalized, Quality Wood Furniture for the Refined Workplace

From the beginning, Tuohy’s purpose has been the same—to provide furnishings that make people’s lives more productive, more pleasing, and more treasured. Tuohy specializes in personalized solutions in casegoods, conference tables, and seating that grace the boardrooms and private offices of some of the largest companies in the world.

Fueled by Passion

The story of Tuohy starts with its founder, Joseph F. Tuohy, who at age 14 entered a model replica of Louis XIV’s coach in a competition sponsored by Fisher Body. He was fortunate; he won. However, one judge doubted that a child built the model. At the age of 42, with a wife, 13 children, and two more to follow, Joseph Tuohy quit the security of his job to do what he had always wanted to do. He set out to make furniture and did so under the only roof he had—his home. He had no customers and no income—only risk and uncertainty, and an abundance of passion.

Three Generations

Joseph’s son, F. Mike, formally joined the firm in the 1960’s. Inspired by his early experiences in New York City, he was attracted to the high-end design presented by firms that pioneered New York’s original Designers’ Saturday—ICF, Stendig, Atelier International, and others. This exposure and collaboration with fine design was a critical junction in the making of Tuohy’s identity.

Now led by third generation family members Dan and Michael Tuohy, the company’s purpose has remained the same—to provide furnishings that make people’s lives more productive, pleasing, and treasured. Tuohy specializes in quality, personalized wood solutions in casegoods, conference tables, and seating and uses disciplined design, modern engineering techniques, and quality materials to achieve a high level of elegance for some of the largest companies in the world.
