Kent Coffey
American
Kent Coffey was an American furniture manufacturer known for producing high-quality, design-forward furniture throughout the 20th century. Founded in 1907 in Lenoir, North Carolina, the Kent-Coffey Manufacturing Company built its reputation on craftsmanship, durability, and stylish yet accessible designs. The brand became especially prominent during the mid-century modern era, when it embraced contemporary aesthetics that appealed to a growing postwar market.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Kent Coffey gained recognition for furniture that featured clean lines, thoughtful proportions, and functional layouts. Pieces were often crafted from solid wood and designed to balance visual appeal with everyday usability. The company produced complete bedroom and living room collections, including dressers, nightstands, desks, and storage cabinets that reflected the modern design sensibilities of the time.
One of Kent Coffey’s most notable collections is Perspecta, introduced in the late 1950s. This line is distinguished by its sculptural drawer fronts made of vertical wooden slats, creating depth and architectural interest. Other collections followed similar modern themes, reinforcing the brand’s identity as a leader in mid-century American furniture design.
Kent Coffey changed ownership several times in the latter half of the century and eventually ceased operations in the late 1990s. Despite this, vintage Kent Coffey furniture remains highly collectible today. The brand is appreciated for its solid construction, timeless mid-century modern style, and its role in shaping American furniture design during one of its most influential periods.
