About Us

At Classic Sofa, our furniture is designed to stand the test of time, as the brand has proven to do so since our beginnings in 1982 at our first Brooklyn-based factory. At the time, we relied on painted footprints on the sidewalk to guide the curious passerby into our shop, and now the Classic Sofa name remains synonymous with the highest quality bespoke furniture across residential, trade and commercial clients.

The company served the tri-state area with 5 unique retail locations until like many others, was hit by the 2008 recession. While others were forced to cut corners, we insisted on preserving the integrity of our old-world manufacturing methods and refocused our efforts on expanding our production in order to stay focused on the consistency and quality of our designs. To this day, our locally-sourced hardwood frames are benchmade, by hand, by our team of master artisans who continue to teach their time-tested methods with our apprentices. We proudly guarantee our frames for life in an effort to support sustainability through longevity.

In 2012, Blake Anding, the current President and Head of Design took ownership to revitalized the brand - since re-opening retail showrooms in Manhattan, Palm Beach and Nantucket, as well as relocating and expanding the Classic Sofa Factory to the Bronx. His English heritage naturally aligns the brand with the bespoke tailoring of Saville Row - a discerning eye applied to every piece before it goes out the door. As the brand continues to grow, so does our commitment to quality and consistency.

Blake has brought a new chapter to the Classic Sofa brand, including bringing on a creative partner in Madeline B. Monaghan, who leads creative direction and strategy for the brand - bridging the gap between retail and design. As we move into the future, there will always be a celebration of the past in everything we do.
