Why We Partner with Norwalk: The Value of Custom, American-Made Furniture
At Rockwell Interior Design, we believe that every detail matters, especially when it comes to the furniture that defines your space. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Norwalk Furniture, one of America’s most respected names in custom upholstery. With over a century of heritage, Norwalk continues to produce high-quality, American-made furnishings that delight clients and stand the test of time. In this post, we’ll dive into what makes Norwalk special and why you’ll love seeing their pieces in your home.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Norwalk Furniture traces its roots back to 1902, when Charles Edward Gerken and John R. Galpin founded Galpin & Gerken, focusing on upholstery and repair work. Norwalk Furniture+1

Their long history reflects deep expertise, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence.
Why American-Made Matters
When furniture is made in the USA, you get tighter quality control, shorter lead times, and better support for local manufacturing. At Norwalk, every piece is built to order, allowing clients to choose fabrics, finishes, dimensions, and details that match their vision. This level of customization reduces waste, delivers better fit, and ensures your furniture holds up beautifully over time.
