About UsTMC is committed to the importance of strong design, lasting quality and exceptional

service to our customers. Since introducing our unique, colorful, laser-cut furniture

for adults and children, TMC has continuously developed visionary styling for the

contract market.

Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, TMC was started (and is

still owned) by artists and designers who share the philosophy that design, innovation

and customization are the core to modern US manufacturing. Our interest is not in

producing furniture by the container-load. We are enamored of traditional made-to-

order production methods and values, and by establishing our factory in Grand Rapids,

we have been able to tap the city’s rich history of furniture-craft.

With an acclaimed portfolio of captivating laser-cut designs, a beautiful palette of wood

finish colors and a broad selection of materials, TMC offers customers a wide selec-

tion of highly modular furniture – spanning contemporary Scandinavian styling to tra-

ditional Arts & Crafts vernacular. And if you don’t find what you like in our standard

product, TMC’s self-developed “options-based” software and production systems will

allow you complete customization for seating, casegoods, and built-in millwork.

Philosphy TMC has over fourteen years of experience in the library market.

Our innovative designs, state-of-the-art manufacturing, and strong

ties to the library industry allow us to stay on the pulse of what

librarians and patrons are looking for in their community. As the

market changes, we look towards new sources of inspiration to

design furniture that can predict trends and the changing needs of

the modern library visitor. Our design portfolio for libraries of-

fers traditional, transitional, and modern furniture styling that can

easily translate to any setting, from the most modern of buildings

to a more classic environment. Our diverse artistry skills allow us

to create furnishings finished with rich wood stains and intricate

cut-outs for one library, while offering simple, lightweight, modu-

lar tables and chairs for another.

In addition to TMC’s design capabilities, we are regularly

invited to attend national library conferences where we gain

insights and share concepts among key

library directors, architects, and manufacturers. These meetings

provide invaluable knowledge to the TMC team, which results in

our ability to offer timeless library furniture that is well made and

conscientiously designed.

Our custom capabilities are another strong suit of TMC.

The skilled artists in our design department regularly collaborate

with our manufacturing team to produce furniture that is crafted

to a specific space. Using unique cut-outs, custom colors, or a

completely new design, our team can create a focal point for

your library, study rooms, common areas and more. Looking for

a different way to add color and customization to a library? Try

our digital ImPrinted™ process to give a unique image a new life

on a chair, lounge chair, or panel. You can submit your own

image file, or if you choose, our designers will work with you to

select an image that adds interest and excitement to a library.

The library at Cranbrook Kingswood Academy and the interior designer requested the cut-out design for the

Algonquin Lounge Chairs and Table be based on the library’s beautiful grille motif designed by eminent Finnish

architect, Eliel Saarinen [pictured above]. TMC was proud to be selected to participate in the continuing tradition of

excellent craftsmanship, art and design for which Cranbrook is renowned.
