At Huston & Company, we create custom furnishings that are aesthetically and functionally ideal for each unique environment. We know that appearances are important, functionality is indispensable and a sense of prestige comes from within an institution.
Each visitor who wonders aloud how the library was furnished so timelessly well is referred to Huston & Company whose work one year later remains the centerpiece of our new library – as I am sure it will remain, 50 years from now.” Randell Schmidt, Head Librarian, The Matthews Family Library, Gill St. Bernard’s School.
Please explore these custom designs we have created for our academic and library clients.
