“When my father and I founded Arhaus nearly 40 years ago, our inspiration for the company was born from our travels leading us to discover incredible craftsmanship and wanting to share it with our community,” said John Reed, Arhaus Co-Founder and CEO. “‘Uphold’ shares the heritage behind our upholstery collections made in North Carolina and the steady, exacting craft our talented artisan partners put into every piece using the finest materials sourced globally. We create some of the best upholstery in the world, and it wouldn’t be possible without the passion, artistry and unwavering commitment to quality that is captured so beautifully in this Storied volume.”
In an excerpt from the Arhaus blog, , John Reed shares how Arhaus Upholstery began:
| “Arhaus’ legacy with handcrafted upholstery began not long after we opened our doors in 1986. Our business was growing, as was the need to offer exceptional upholstered seating to our customers. And I knew exactly what I wanted our assortment to be. Silhouettes and fabrics that felt current but timeless. Frames made from sustainably sourced wood. Heirloom quality that would last. When I couldn’t find what I wanted, I set out to build it myself. I drove through the foothills of North Carolina, the epicenter of American upholstery making, and met with workshops of all sizes. Eventually, I found artisans who shared my vision—many of whom we still work with today. From that initial journey almost forty years ago, Arhaus Upholstery has grown to include more than 175 collections, hundreds of silhouettes, and the most exquisite materials sourced around the world.” | |
In 2022, Arhaus opened an upholstery facility spanning nearly 500,000 square feet in Conover, NC, just an hour away from Charlotte, becoming the newest state-of-the-art facility in the North Carolina region.
