Howe Furniture Founded in 1920, Howe earned critical acclaim when its newly designed foldable table was installed at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. These were the first 2,100 banquet tables installed in a hotel in the U.S. The Company followed this accomplishment by designing folding products for specific needs such as banquet tables for World War II PT boats and submarines, and training tables with modesty panels for IBM in the 1970s as they started providing co-ed training for their workforce. In the 1980s, the brand became more design oriented as the Company embarked on a relationship with world-renowned product designer Neils Diffrient. Diffrient, Tempest, Tudor and Storm are among the most highly specified products in the corporate training industry. Howe also operates a European division based in Middlefart, Denmark. Similar to the U.S Company, Howe Europe actively competes for corporate, education and healthcare projects. 2005 marked another milestone as Howe launched its award winning More collection. More is the Company's first matched table and chair collection. Both products are set on casters so the furniture may be moved and stored without lifting a piece off the ground. Today, Howe is a brand within the CFGroup family, which is a closely held private company. www.howefurniture.com
