A tradition on fine furniture construction that began more than three-quarters of a century ago, Bright Chair is a company well-known for its high quality wooden seating, done in the most exquisite details and luxurious finishes. Durable, stylish, and highly customized, Bright Chair Company products are built to meet lofty standards and exceed expectations.

Workmanship Excellence by Bright Chair: Stan Gottlieb’s Bright Chair Company started when his father founded Princeton Upholstery during the 1940s, and acquired Bright Chair in 1959, the company’s fierce competitor during that time. Gottlieb’s father inherited his love for crafting furnishings from his own father, who put up an upholstery business in the Bronx before the forties. Retaining the Bright business name, the new company enjoyed further expansion only four years after merging the two businesses together, moving its manufacturing headquarters from New York City to Middletown. President Stan Gottlieb, who now owns the company, describes each and every single one of the furniture produced by Bright Chair as having a “unique story behind it.” Bright Chair Company today is one of the biggest companies in Middletown, employing close to a hundred people in their 120,000-square-foot facility. For the past 15 years Doug Levine sits as the design director for the company. According to President Gottlieb, Doug Levine remains largely responsible in steering the company toward a more original, distinctive design philosophy. The company focuses on creating products that cater to the design requests of the market, while offering something original each and every time. The manufacturing processes adopted by the company also define much of its performance and reputability throughout the years. Only solid wood from sustainable forests are used; while water-based adhesives are their only adhesive of choice. During the 90’s a new showroom at the New York Design Center was established and in recent years additional showrooms in Chicago, Boston, and Dallas have also been put up.

Bright Chair Collections: For more than 75 years Bright Chair Company has been producing designs that extend from the classic to the contemporary. This company has independently manufactured excellent quality, highly finished wood seating which are all handcrafted to world-class quality, in their Middletown, New York headquarters. Bright Chair has always been known to produce only high quality, environmentally-safe products, through the use of sustainable wood and sustainable production processes. The ability of the company to cater to the customized requests of clients without compromising quality, lengthening manufacturing time, or charging exorbitant extra fees, have made the brand a top player in the wood seating industry today. A variety of wood finishes are available for their seating selections, which include Standard, Premium, and Luxe finishes. Cherry Wood, Walnut Wood, and Maple Wood finishes in many variations lend each Bright Chair Company creation a distinctive, stylish appeal.
