Company Founder GW Haworth Borrowed $10,000 to Expand His Woodworking Business

Like many startups, Haworth's first home was a garage. In 1948, company founder GW Haworth borrowed $10,000 from his folks to expand his woodworking business and Modern Products was born. In 1954, when a customer stopped in his office with plans for an office partition system and asked Haworth to build it, he took on the challenge and build his business around it.

Since then, Haworth evolved from solely making office partitions to designing and constructing thoughtful and functional office furniture and architectural interiors. The company has committed to using sustainable practices that don't harm — and sometimes even improve — the environment.

Haworth offers a variety of furniture options for your business, including seating, storage, tables, desks, flooring and moveable walls.

Below you'll find a roundup of Haworth lines for design- and panel-based office systems, including prices for used systems when available. For more information about Haworth, visit Haworth.com.
