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.
