The Stickley brothers burst into international prominence in the early 20th century with their Mission Oak designs. These were based on the notion that furniture should be “honest”—a reaction against the fake joinery, unnecessary gaudiness, and shoddy workmanship of many of the pieces created in the early days of industrial furniture making.When certain specialized tasks (like chairmaking, and inlay) were migrating overseas throughout the furniture industry, we recognized that our loyal, marvelously skilled Vietnamese-American employees could be a great asset in setting up an Asian factory that would support our American base of production. Several dozen of our New York employees moved to Vietnam and brought “the Stickley way” to a sparkling modern facility that feeds a small number of critical products to our Manlius manufacturing and distribution center.
