David Edward
David Edward is a US contract furniture manufacturer, founded in 1963 by Edward G. Pitts in Baltimore (Maryland) as a small family business following the acquisition of assets from a bankrupt furniture company. The company developed into one of the leading American manufacturers of high-quality upholstered furniture and tables for the contract segment, with a focus on healthcare, corporate, education and premium hospitality. Distribution primarily in North America and the Middle East: products are specified by architects and designers, sold through a network of independent representatives and authorised dealers. Manufacturing facilities: Baltimore (Maryland) and Red Lion (Pennsylvania), totalling approximately 235,000 square feet of production space, with approximately 170 craftspeople. In 2018 Kimball International acquired the company; the collection has since continued as the "David Edward Collection by Kimball". The acquisition gave access to Kimball's manufacturing infrastructure without surrendering the brand's independent design identity.
Product portfolio: classic and contemporary designs in upholstered furniture, tables and complementary products, combining technically refined craftsmanship with international designer partnerships. Selected products: Kutee (modern lounge chair with storage function and optional tablet surface), Anora (classic lounge collection with wood and soft materials), LSM Sofa, LSM Lounge Chair, LSM Side Chair (leather versions, sable finish), Flo coffee table and side table, Entourage Modular Lounge. Designs are created in partnership with internationally active design studios.
For architects and workplace designers seeking an American upholstered furniture programme in the contract segment with over 60 years of craft tradition, 100% own production in Baltimore, and a design identity explicitly conceived for architects and interior designers, David Edward is the most precise Baltimore address — backed since 2018 by the production depth of Kimball International.
