Cumberland Furniture

Cumberland Furniture was founded in the 1950s, a small company in New York making tables, desks, benches, and office and lobby seating. The company became well known for its elegant designs.

Cumberland designed and manufactured furniture for the design community that was both classic and contemporary under the ownership of the Epstein family and then Ozzie Krug. In 1984 the company was purchased by Irving M. Rosen, a founder of Pace, who brought his own unique experience in design and furniture manufacturing to a new generation of Cumberland. He supplemented the existing designs with contemporary furniture from designers in Europe. Cumberland both imported and manufactured these designs under licensing arrangements.

Scott F. Gilmore of Gilmore Inc. purchased Cumberland from the Rosen Family in 1998. Between 1998 and 2002, Scott and his staff brought the Cumberland product line in-house.

Today, Cumberland is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan where much of the world's contract furniture is made.
