DIVISION TWELVE

“a feisty hospitality brand….” AZURE

I founded Division Twelve in spring 2017 after finding a vacant metal tube chair factory which had been shuttered for five years after a fire. The metal shop was intact and full of custom metal chair manufacturing tooling - a perfect opportunity to develop a new furniture brand and a new seating collection. 

Combining material and manufacturing methodologies I have favoured in the past – powder-coated metal (Pure Design) and the soft edges of CNC milled solid wood (OnOurTable) – I developed a debut collection focused clearly on the hospitality seating market.  

I introduced the collection at IDS West in the fall of 2017 and began working on hospitality projects throughout North America.  The shop was made for quick prototyping and I worked with several Canadian freelance designers to push the collection in fresh new directions.  

In late 2019, DIVISION TWELVE was acquired by Keilhauer - a Canadian furniture manufacturing icon – introducing the company to large new markets across North America.
