The roots of Martin Industries run deep in Philadelphia. Over 60 years ago the original owner Marty (yes, the Martin) began his furniture company in a three story building at 13th and Lombard. Furniture--both custom and a line of his own, accessories, fabrics--Martin Industries soon became a stomping ground for interior designers and decorators from up and down the east coast.
One of Marty's best decisions: to hire a young punk art teacher who was looking for a new line of work--John Kline. In time Marty passed the business to Howard, then Howard passed it to David. Faces changed, styles changed, the lines were dropped to focus on strictly custom work, but some things stayed the same. Namely: John, still drawing away in the office, and the commitment to beautiful, well-made furniture.
John and Jeremy bring a unique combination to this Philadelphia tradition. From our current location in historic Bristol, PA we continue to produce upholstered works of art, putting ourselves wholeheartedly into everything we do.

Using a combination of tried and true methods that have existed for generations + the newest ideas in furniture, every item that passes through our shop gets the individualized attention it deserves.
Our frames are made completely of hardwoods.
You won't find any plywood or staples holding them together.
Every frame is doweled, glued and screwed.
We have gotten furniture back for recover work from the same clients 20 years or more after they bought it--because the fabric wears out long before the frame does.
