Fairfield Chair in Knoxville, Tennessee
Over 100 years of custom seating from Lenoir, North Carolina — accent chairs, sofas, and dining seating built to your specifications since 1921.
North Carolina Chair-Making Since 1921
Fairfield Chair Company has been crafting upholstered seating in Lenoir, North Carolina since 1921 — over a century of building chairs, sofas, and occasional pieces in the heart of America’s furniture corridor. Founded in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Fairfield grew up alongside the region’s furniture-making tradition, and they never left. While other manufacturers moved production offshore, Fairfield stayed put, investing in the skilled workforce and time-tested methods that built their reputation.
Fairfield’s sweet spot has always been the accent chair and occasional seating piece — the chair that gives a room its personality. From elegant dining chairs and bar stools to statement accent chairs and cozy swivel chairs, Fairfield approaches every seat with the same seriousness of construction: kiln-dried hardwood frames, hand-tied coil springs, and meticulous upholstery. Their expertise in custom seating is what makes them a go-to brand for interior designers nationwide.
What truly sets Fairfield apart is the depth of their custom program combined with their turnaround time. With hundreds of fabrics and leathers, extensive nailhead trim options, and a range of customizable details, you get a piece that’s made specifically for you — without the year-long wait that custom furniture sometimes demands. At Braden’s, we carry Fairfield because they represent the best of what North Carolina furniture-making has always been: honest construction, real craftsmanship, and furniture that earns its place in your home.
What Goes Into Every Fairfield
Fairfield has been refining their craft for over a century. Here’s what sets their seating apart from the inside out.
Kiln-Dried Hardwood Frames
Every Fairfield piece starts with a frame built from kiln-dried hardwood — carefully dried to remove moisture, then precision-cut and assembled with reinforced joinery. It’s the kind of structural investment you can’t see from the outside, but you’ll feel the difference for decades. These frames don’t creak, shift, or give out after a few years. They’re built to last, and they do.
Custom Fabric & Leather Selection
Fairfield offers hundreds of fabric and leather options, giving you the freedom to customize virtually any piece to match your vision. From bold patterns to quiet neutrals, performance weaves to supple leathers, the selection is deep enough to satisfy any designer or homeowner. Add nailhead trim details and you’ve got a piece that’s truly your own — not something pulled off a showroom floor.
Hand-Tied Spring Construction
Fairfield uses hand-tied coil spring systems in their seating to deliver the kind of responsive, lasting comfort that sinuous wire simply can’t match. Each spring is individually tied and anchored, creating an interconnected support system that distributes weight evenly and holds its shape over years of daily use. It’s a labor-intensive method, and that’s exactly the point.
