In 1925, Hooker Furniture began with the enthusiastic tug of a steam whistle by young Clyde Hooker Jr., marking the first day of what would become a remarkable journey in fine furniture making. Established in Martinsville, Virginia, the company grew under Clyde Jr.'s visionary leadership, rooted deeply in dedication to impeccable craftsmanship, style, and quality.
Today, Hooker Furniture remains headquartered in Martinsville, carrying forward its founding principles as a third-generation, family-led company—one of the few remaining furniture brands still guided by its original family heritage. Now under the leadership of Paul B. Toms Jr., grandson of the founder, the brand continues to embody an enduring commitment to elegance, functionality, and lasting value.
Known for their distinctive blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary flair, Hooker Furniture designs encompass everything from luxurious dining collections and sophisticated bedroom suites to versatile home offices and beautifully crafted accents. Products range from meticulously handcrafted upholstery by HF Custom Furniture in Bedford, Virginia, to upscale leather furnishings by Bradington-Young in Hickory, North Carolina. Complementing this, Hooker thoughtfully sources and oversees the manufacturing of premium wood and accent furniture from around the globe, including facilities in Asia, Mexico, and Central America, always adhering to rigorous quality standards.
Beyond excellence in design and manufacturing, Hooker Furniture takes pride in its commitment to environmental stewardship, adopting sustainable practices to preserve natural resources for future generations. Equally dedicated to social responsibility, the company actively invests in community growth, education, arts, and charitable initiatives throughout Virginia and North Carolina. Notably, the Hooker Educational Foundation has awarded over one million dollars in scholarships to more than 300 children of company employees since its founding in the 1990s.
Choosing Hooker Furniture means welcoming pieces of timeless elegance and unparalleled craftsmanship into your home, where each furnishing tells a story of heritage, quality, and lasting beauty.
