Who We Are Every great story starts with a vision. For HighTower’s founders, that vision was to disrupt the contract furniture market with innovative and finely crafted products intuitive to the needs of a new, more connected and creative user. With the release of their first collection in 2003, Scott, Natalie and Rachel knew they were on to something special. Today, HighTower’s modern collection of products - imagined by a global community of break-out designers - draws people in, awakens the senses, welcomes collaboration and inspires creativity. While a lot has changed, we’ve held onto that “something special” that helped us realize our goal more than 10 years ago: A fearless dedication to fresh products that put people’s needs first.
