Petersen Furniture was founded in 1984 in the Chicago area by Kurt Petersen (image above), who built the company on a foundation of quality and personalized service. With a strong focus on commercial and institutional seating, Kurt spent decades helping restaurants, hospitality venues, and other businesses create inviting and functional spaces.
From the beginning, Petersen Furniture has specialized in sourcing custom furniture solutions tailored to each project’s needs. Working closely with top manufacturers, the company has provided made-to-order seating, tables, and furnishings—ensuring exceptional quality, durability, and value. Whether outfitting an intimate dining space or a large-scale hospitality venue, the goal has always been to guide clients through the selection process with expert insight, detailed planning, and a commitment to great design.
Today, the same dedication to service and high-quality furniture solutions continues. Petersen Furniture remains a trusted resource for businesses seeking unique, well-crafted furnishings, helping clients bring their vision to life with expert guidance and an extensive network of manufacturing partners.
