Haworth’s three pillars—combined—are what differentiate us: Family-Owned, Global Expertise, and Design Led.
So does our heritage, deepened by three generations of one family and guided by our Values—the cornerstone of our culture.
Family-Owned
As a family-owned, privately held, $2 billion global company, we have the ability to plan for the long term.
We don’t make decisions based on a single financial quarter. We stay the course.
Family ownership and accountability lead to Haworth making investments
for the future to benefit our clients, members, and communities.
Global Expertise
We design, source, and manufacture products in the markets where they are delivered,
ensuring solutions are tailored for distinct cultures and client preferences,
greater agility, and more sustainable sourcing.
With our global footprint and diversity of ideas, we deliver the best in design thinking to clients wherever they are in the world.
Design Led
Haworth balances performance and desire in everything we do for clients.
We have Design Centers in Italy, Germany, China, and the US.
We also scout internationally for talent and partner with today’s leading architects and designers
to bring clients fresh ideas and the best possible products and solutions.
Our Heritage
Founded by G.W. Haworth in 1948, Haworth is a privately held, global leader in the contract furnishings industry.
What began from humble roots — crafting wood furnishings in a Midwestern town on the shores of Lake Michigan
— has evolved into a global company with a focus on Organic Workspace that helps people perform their best.
