Feel the breeze through the open windows of your island home. Thats what you imagine when you wake up in a room decorated with the Key West Bedroom Collection. Styling popularized when civilized countries assumed control over uncivilized territories. Explorers brought European styled furniture to the islands for local craftsmen to replicate. Historical elements were reinterpreted into a more relaxed traditional style later known as British West Indies or Island Styling. Side mounted ball bearing glides; dust proofed, English and French dove-tailed drawer Construction, and felt lined drawers top drawers bring a modern touch to the collection. While touch lighting on the night stands and ample storage, are unique to Magnussen Home. Traditional elements mixed with island motifs, antique brass hardware, and a slightly distressed sienna finish, give this collection an elegant relaxed time worn appearance.
Since 1931, the Magnussen Home family has been committed to blending the fine qualities that they value in life into the fine furniture that they offer our customers. Integrity. Ingenuity. Style. Dedication. The people at Magnussen Home take pride in their company and in the furniture they produce.
Ingwer Magnussen founded the company in 1931, in the town of Kitchener, Ontario. A cabinetmaker by trade and a craftsman and businessman at heart, Ingwer took the bold step of starting his own company when he was unable to find work during the Great Depression. Serving Canadian upholstery manufacturers, he created beautiful, intricately carved show wood for sofa frames, earning a reputation that allowed his young business to grow into a good-sized company. Over the years, Magnussen Home has continued to grow, expanding to become a global enterprise. Yet, they have maintained the core principles of a family-run business - trust, honesty and respect - as the foundation of success of Magnussen Home.
