Family owned and operated...

Lorts Manufacturing, founded in 1966 by Andrew Lorts, is a family owned and operated furniture manufacturing company. Mike and Sylvia Lorts were Andrew’s successors, creating the style and direction of the company as we know it.  In 2005, Ty and Michelle Lorts bought the company striving to build on what the family had started.   The Lorts family ensures each piece is worthy of the Lorts name and tradition: furniture passed down from generation to generation because of quality and style that transcends time, fashion and fads.

The evolution of Lorts...
The company originally produced moderately priced furniture, distributed to retail furniture stores. The majority of the items, fashioned in an Early American style and large-scaled, included dining tables, occasional tables and roll-top desks. Evolving over more than twenty years, Lorts in 1990 began producing a stylized collection of traditional furniture distributed through the finest higher-end furniture stores and designers across the country.
Soon word spread about the company producing hardwood furniture in premium finishes at an incredible value.  Gradually, the product line developed and now includes dining furniture, stools and game sets, occasional pieces, bedroom furniture, home office and wall units.
In the last few years, Lorts has also broadened its line to appeal to the customer preferring a more transitional look.  With cleaner lines and lighter scale, this new category has grown tremendously.  In 2011, Lorts collaborated with Atlanta designer Christy Dillard to add to this category.  Lorts also began production of a line of occasional seating that gave today’s designer the long anticipated option of combining quality, comfortable seating with Lorts’ industry leading finishes.

Lorts makes customization a reality...
Homeowners desire the ability to personalize their home furnishings by customizing finishes and sizes, and Lorts strives to make this a reality. From size changes on items currently in the Lorts line to new ideas sketched out on a napkin, Lorts allows customers to make each piece unique. In a world where each piece of furniture tends to look like every other, Lorts' customers can create furniture customized to each individual need and style at a value unsurpassed within the industry.

The Lorts Difference...

Lorts distinguishes itself from its competitors by using distressing techniques resulting in a look only seen on furniture hundreds of years old. Ever evolving, the company currently offers a multitude of finish choices executed in a way that has made the Lorts the standard by which other furniture companies measure themselves.  With a number of different fabric, metal and leather options Lorts has expanded further the choices today’s customer demands.
The goal at Lorts Furniture is the design and production of beautiful furniture. Here at Lorts, we understand the value of creating legendary furniture that reflects the Lorts family name, tradition, and values.
