Rethinking Furniture
Floyd is a new kind of furniture company. They make furniture for city living and believe furniture should not be difficult to purchase, assemble, or move. It should be beautifully designed and built to last. Floyd Detroit makes furniture that is simple to use, easy to ship, and long lasting. Starting with a bed frame and a table that ships right to your door, their aim is to make furnishing an apartment an easy and enjoyable experience.
Their Story
Floyd was founded in 2013 by Kyle Hoff & Alex O’Dell in Detroit, Michigan. The two started Floyd as a reaction to disposable furniture and poor furniture purchasing experiences. Their first product — the Floyd Leg — allowed users to easily make a table with any flat surface material. Floyd Detroit launched with a Kickstarter and since then continued to ship to over 50 countries.
They work closely with manufacturers in the Great Lakes Region to produce furniture products to the highest standard. Their largest markets continue to be dense cities like New York, San Francisco, and Tokyo.
Made in the USA
All Floyd products are designed and produced in close collaboration with a Great Lakes manufacturer. Many of their manufacturers are based in Detroit and only minutes away from Floyd’s headquarters. They also have partners in Chicago, Illinois, and Akron, Ohio. Floyd Detroit aims to work within existing manufacturing infrastructure in the region to design and quickly produce new products.
