Barbara & Robert Tiffany

Designers of our patented Comfort Sleeper™ mechanism, Barbara and Robert Tiffany have been collaborating since 1976.

In 1976, they brought flip-out convertible seating of polyurethane foam to the American public, designing and marketing this innovative concept for the Sherwood Corporation. The National Home Fashion League recognized the Tiffany’s work by honoring them in the 1984 Salute to Achievers in the Home Furnishings Industry. That same year they won the Daphne Award for Upholstered Furniture for a convertible sofa, which housed their patented convertible mechanism.

In 1992 they launched The Spirit Collection, a line of unique upholstered seating, which they design and manufacturer. In 2000 The Spirit Bench, based on the principle of the Jeffersonian wall, was introduced. Its bold, contemporary design is realized in plantation-grown teak and stainless steel for outside use. In 2001, the bench garnered two awards: The Adex Platinum Award and The American Furniture Manufacturers Association’s Design Excellence Award for Casual Furniture.

Tiffany and Tiffany have developed hundreds of products, from mass-market tubular steel for Amisco to high-end designer showroom and contract products for such manufacturers as Preview, Directional, Thonet and Jack Lenor Larsen. Many of their designs in bent laminated wood for Plycraft appear regularly on movie and TV sets. Their corporate clients included Saks Fifth Avenue, the Manhattan Theater Club, and the New York City Off-Track Betting Corporation.
