The company's origins trace back to 1927 in Monroe, Michigan, when cousins Edward Knabusch and Edwin Shoemaker partnered with an innovative insight. They conceived a chair that responded to "nature's way of relaxing," initially crafting a wood-slat porch chair with a reclining mechanism. This pivotal invention, later upholstered for year-round use, laid the foundation for the iconic La-Z-Boy recliner, named following a public contest.
La-Z-Boy serves a broad consumer base seeking comfortable and stylish furniture for their living spaces. Its long-term vision centers on enhancing home comfort and well-being by continually evolving its product offerings to meet diverse lifestyle needs.
