Leland Furniture, headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a design-driven manufacturer specializing in modern commercial furniture that harmonizes form, function, and a deep sense of place. Founded in 1992 by Tim Korzon, Leland emerged from a passion for woodworking and a vision to reinterpret Mid-Century Modern principles through a uniquely American lens.
Guided by values of quality, authenticity, and humanity, Leland crafts furniture that feels as natural as the environments it inhabits. Their approach emphasizes organic forms, tactile materials, and a color palette inspired by Michigan's landscapes. This philosophy is evident in collections like Gemma—a versatile suite of chairs, tables, and lounges designed by Altherr Désile Park, featuring sculpted plywood veneers and customizable finishes that adapt seamlessly to various settings.
Innovation and sustainability are central to Leland's ethos. The Baraga stool, for instance, reimagines the classic tractor seat using molded plywood and PET felt, offering both ergonomic comfort and eco-friendly design. Leland's commitment to durability is demonstrated through rigorous testing protocols, with many products exceeding industry standards to ensure longevity in high-traffic environments.
Beyond products, Leland fosters a culture that celebrates the joy of making and the stories behind each design. Collaborations with renowned designers and a dedication to craftsmanship have positioned Leland as a trusted partner for architects and designers seeking furniture that embodies the spirit of "The Good Life"—a harmonious blend of comfort, community, and enduring design.
