During the 1990s Sligh became the high end leader in home office furniture, inventing patented computer cabinets, modular home office furniture and seating.
The Sligh Corridor group combined classic 18th century form with 21st century function and won the first place gold award at NEOCON, the annual business office furniture market.
With typical thoroughness, our design, development, engineering and sample making people spent a couple years in full-blown research mode for home entertainment. Research included becoming immersed in consumer electronics, understanding the shapes and functions and dimensions and how consumers want to use technology.
We created research partnerships with consumer electronics retailers, attended consumer electronics shows, talked with consumers and dealers and editors and leveraged our great industrial design, furniture design, model making and engineering teams’ ability to develop superior function and style. In 2002, Sligh entered the home entertainment furniture market with a full collection of patented designs.
Through the years Sligh has adapted its product lines, its manufacturing and its dealer base. One thing has remained constant: well appreciated product innovation developed by a superb team of people that make a positive difference for our company, our industry and high-end consumers everywhere. Thanks to the people at Sligh in all areas, our first 130 years has been a great beginning.
