Furnishing Innovation
While lifestyles change and evolve, so does your home.
We design furniture that fits your lifestyle for today and tomorrow.
In 1981, when waterbeds and futons were the hip new furnishings, Mark Valone had a vision for something different. He wanted to create furniture that combined forward thinking innovation with the comfort, safety, durability, and affordability of American classics. So, Mark did what entrepreneurs do. He created AFI Furnishings and began designing and manufacturing timeless furnishings that could be sustainable and affordable for everyone.
More than 40 years later, AFI Furnishings is a global leader in safe, sustainably sourced home furnishings. Mark continues as Chief Designer, guiding our team as we continue to push innovative furniture design in exciting new directions. Guided by ingenuity and built on sustainability, our designs are executed by specialty builders around the world. All materials are thoroughly inspected for quality at our warehouse in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, before making their way to your home in the form of comfortable, sustainable furniture that’s built to last a lifetime.
AFI Furnishings specializes in perfecting the balance of form and function. Our ever-expanding product line includes smart, stylish home furnishings, such as:
Murphy Bed Chests & Desks
Strong, Safe Staircase Bunk Beds
Compact, Elegant AC & USB Charging Systems.
Green Facilities
In 2018, AFI Furnishings purchased and renovated an empty 277,000 square foot former tool factory to create our corporate headquarters and lead distribution center in South Deerfield, Massachusetts.
As we have with our other western Massachusetts facilities—including a dilapidated plastics factory and a long-vacant textiles factory—AFI Furnishing’s has implemented the following sustainable upgrades and improvements:
Modernized HVAC systems.
Maintenance of surrounding greenspace
Installation of motion-activated LED light systems and other energy efficient fixtures
Removal of all hazardous materials.
With Innovation Comes Expansion
In 2023, we are excited to be opening a new warehouse in Waynesboro, Georgia that will offer these same sustainable upgrades & improvements.
