JSI

JSI is a heritage furniture brand driven by a belief that well-crafted spaces can transform how people connect, work, and thrive. Founded in 1876 in Jasper, Indiana, JSI has remained rooted in the same community where it began—drawing on generations of woodworking knowledge passed down through families of skilled craftspeople. What started as hand-built desks and tables has evolved into a full offering of workplace, collaborative, and healthcare furnishings known for their warmth, utility, and enduring quality.

JSI stands out through its commitment to authentic craftsmanship and responsible design. The company combines time-honored techniques in woodworking, upholstery, and metalworking with advanced manufacturing processes to deliver products that feel both timeless and forward-thinking. Their pieces are designed with intention—meant to foster collaboration, comfort, and longevity in a wide range of environments, from offices to clinics to public spaces.

At the heart of JSI’s mission is a desire to build spaces where people love what they do. This human-centered focus is reflected in every aspect of the brand’s work, from agile product development to its thoughtful sustainability initiatives. JSI’s approach to environmental stewardship is integrated into its entire operation—from using responsibly sourced materials and minimizing waste, to achieving certifications like GREENGUARD and BIFMA for healthier indoor environments.

In 2024, JSI launched JSI Health, a major expansion that brings their same dedication to craft and purpose into the healthcare space. This milestone marked a new chapter in the brand’s growth—anchored in nearly 150 years of experience but always evolving with the needs of the modern world.

With a culture grounded in humility, purpose, and community, JSI continues to design furniture that does more than fill a room—it creates places people want to be.

Sustainability
At JSI, sustainability isn’t a department—it’s a mindset. It’s embedded in how we design, how we manufacture, and how we show up for future generations. Rooted in our origins as woodworkers in the forests of southern Indiana, we’ve always known the value of natural resources and the responsibility that comes with using them well. Today, we remain committed to minimizing our environmental impact through practices that are thoughtful, measurable, and regenerative.

We’ve outlined bold goals in our Sustainability Action Plan, including:
• Reducing emissions and energy use across operations
• Minimizing waste and moving toward zero landfill
• Increasing recycled and responsibly sourced materials
• Improving product transparency through tools like GREENGUARD and Declare labels
• Supporting circular design and community resilience

Through volunteerism, educational partnerships, and inclusive hiring, our work also extends beyond materials—it’s about people, progress, and leaving things better than we found them. This is how we do business. This is how we build a future we’re proud to pass on.
