So Who Is This Archie, Anyway? The story behind the start of an Adirondack furniture company... Archie’s Island Furniture is an outdoor furniture manufacturer which manufactures and markets premium hardwood benches, Adirondack Furniture and dining sets finished with the highest quality marine enamel paints. Archie’s Island was founded in 2000 by Archie McIntyre of Winchester, Massachusetts. The Adirondack furniture company was founded to provide a painted alternative to the standard natural wood and wrought iron outdoor furniture available in the marketplace. Furniture is our product but color is our defining attribute. We provide a palette of colors not available from a standard outdoor furniture manufacturer. Our colors display confidence and boldness, a willingness to stand out in a sea of sameness. Our original palette of 12 vibrant colors has been expanded over the years to 4 distinct palettes of 28 colors. Today, the company offers unique chairs, benches, loveseats, and dining sets. Archie’s Island Furniture features exceptional quality in great designs and one-of-a-kind, long lasting colors. Archie’s Island is a place where physical beauty, quality of design and construction, and vibrant color come together to bring life and energy to the physical environment and to the places where we gather. So what’s this about an Island, you ask? After visiting many islands (and, in fact, deriving the design of our original chair from an “Island Chair” in the 1,000 Islands of the St. Lawrence River in Canada), we decided to define our own island. Part Coast of Maine, part Caribbean color and part South Seas tranquility, Archie’s Island is more a state of mind, a frame of reference, than a defined physical location. If Archie’s Island was a real place, though, it would be an island where you’d walk barefoot, enjoy long, bright days, bask in crystal clear water, and relax in quality outdoor furniture with your feet up with bright colors and vibrant people around you. Maui, Mykonos, Tahiti, perhaps, Capri come to mind. The beauty of Archie’s Island Furniture is that you can have some of that Island spirit as part of your daily life. Archie’s Island Furniture is available through our website, www.archiesisland.com or by calling 1-800-486-1183. In addition, Archie’s Island Furniture is sold through the trade and at select specialty retail stores in the Eastern United States.
