Who we are —

We are more than just another e-commerce furniture source.

Mill Collective is a movement, a commitment to the timeless craft of creating objects for the home that endure beyond trends. Here, we think in generations, not only in years.

From a core group of 20 collaborators gathered for our first show in North Carolina in 2017, we have grown to a platform of more than 70 highly qualified Makers and small batch studios from across 16 states united by the same mission: to simplify the sourcing and procurement process for interior designers searching for authentic home furnishings, while offering independent Makers a streamlined platform to market and promote their work to a larger audience.

We’re proud to connect curious, conscious interior design professionals with a community of America’s finest Makers in one central marketplace — mindful products for the mindful lifestyle.

Together, we’re shaping the future of American design one product at a time. 

Our Story —

Mill Collective began as a community of like-minded Makers promoting their independent studios under a single banner at the 2017 High Point Market in North Carolina. Encouraged by the response from interior designers, excited to discover and source unique designs and artisan quality for their projects, Mill Collective recognized a need to expand the awareness of the maker and furniture-as-art movements.

A series of talks, workshops, and seminars soon followed to highlight the challenges around design, small-scale production, and customization independent studios often encounter in the face of larger corporate furnishings brands.

Media coverage by esteemed outlets like Architectural Digest, Interior Design Magazine, Domino, and Dezeen quickly established Mill Collective as a thought leader in the home furnishings industry. Special exhibits highlighting the furniture-as-art movement were organized to further inform furniture buyers and introduce emerging Makers to a growing trade audience eager for more.

Notable exhibitions and programming included “This is Not a Chair”, “Beyond the Mask”, and “Terra Incognita”. Learn more about these events on our Past Events page.

Mill Collective continues to expand its offerings to interior designers looking to easily source and procure distinct, customizable products from America’s best Makers via a new digital platform offering e-commerce, product information management (PIM), and digital archives.
