be wowed: IN MY LIFE, I’VE HAD MANY OCCASIONS TO
As a child in Kashmir, by our view of the majestic Himalayas; and later, as a climber, by the view from those mountains and many others. As a 20-year-old, traveling alone to a new life in Brooklyn, New York, by the brilliant blanket of that city’s lights blinking up in the night as we descended. A few days later, I took my first ride on a subway—which at the time was one of the most memorable trips of my life. I have journeyed throughout Europe, especially Italy; throughout Africa, and up Kilimanjaro; throughout Asia, from India to Indonesia and Japan; and was one of the first outsiders to travel to a newly “open” China. I’ve visited dozens of countries and hundreds of cities, I’ve met countless people from around the world, and I’ve had the great privilege of experiencing art and culture from many perspectives. It’s important to us that our clients feel wowed by Ethan Allen—that their experience is one they remember, one they want to live with, and one to which they want to return. We’re constantly refining the ways we wow—responsibility, quality, and thoughtful service are among them. As, of course, is design. At its best, travel changes our perspective. At Ethan Allen, it’s the heart and soul of the way we see design. Just as America is a place where ideas from all over the world are spun together to create something different—something wonderful—so it is with us. The melting pot of the world comes to life here— blended, reimagined, and designed as something new and even better.
WE ARE THRILLED TO INTRODUCE PASSPORT, an all-new collection of globally inspired furniture and décor. We hope it brings home the feeling of having been somewhere wonderful. We hope it wows you.

environment
The world’s future depends on healthy, well-managed forests. In many cases, we satisfy our manufacturing requirements with hardwoods that regenerate naturally through seeding and sprouting. When we use nonnative species, we work to source them from properly managed forests.
craftsmanship
From our carefully crafted mortise-and-tenon joinery to our hand-applied finishes, you can feel confident that every hand-placed veneer, every turned leg, and every carved baluster is made with artistry, finesse, and attention to detail.
service
design
Our designers search for inspiration from many places, past and present, and create pure artistry from those images and impressions. No Ethan Allen piece simply mimics what’s already been made. It’s crafted with a twist, a flair of the unexpected—and our absolute obsession with trying something new.
Whether they’re welcoming you to a Design Center, preparing lumber for our sawmill, delivering a new sofa, or dreaming up a beautiful new design, the many members of the Ethan Allen team come to work for one reason: to create an unforgettable experience for you.

design service
Go ahead: Design your look. You can do no wrong; we’ll make sure of it. Our designers help you as little or as much as you like—from designing floor plans to deciding which trim goes on your sofa. Visit a Design Center— their service is always on the house.
safety
The North Carolina Department of Labor recently recognized our upholstery manufacturing plant in Maiden for reaching one million man hours without a single lost time incident. The safety of each person who works to make your chair (and everything else we sell) is as important to us as the quality of the work they do.
craftsmanship
Each piece of custom upholstery we make is tailored by hand, just for you. You choose the fabric or trim. You decide how soft or supportive the cushions should be. And when options allow, you select the finishing touches, from nailhead trim to tufting to contrast welting, that make it uniquely yours.
in-home delivery
This is no curbside service. We don’t just deliver furniture; we deliver a commitment to excellence. We inspect each piece before it leaves our care and again once it’s in your home, where we place it exactly where you want it and assemble it just the way it’s supposed to be.

rapid refresh When you already love the way you live but you’d like to change it up just a bit, Passport can get you
where you need to go. This room of some of our
longtime faves (Conway sectional, Bruckner coffee table, and the Sayville glass cabinets) gets a mini makeover with new pillows and new art for the walls. Come see how easy new can be.

work it out
NEW! Our Callum home office, storage, and display pieces are modern and modular with a big nod to British campaign style. With Callum’s file base, media base, choice of open and glass door upper units, and generously sized desk, you can design a setup that works for your needs and space—or scope out more hardworking, great-looking choices at a Design Center.
