The American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame Foundation inducted four new members into their Hall of Fame, one of which is a local businessman.
Clement M. Lange was inducted into the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame for his work with Best Chairs, Inc./Best Home Furnishings, which is based in Ferdinand.
Lange built the domestic upholstery manufacturing company on the principal to create the best quality product at the most affordable price and to do it more efficiently than the competition. With more than 2,400 styles and options in more than 800 fabrics and leathers, orders are produced in five working days. A technology leader, Mr. Lange computerized manufacturing operations in the 1970s. In the 1990s, a new high-tech computer system and the launch of Best Chair Transit further shorten deliveries of its swivel rockers and gliders; stationary and motion sofas, loveseats and chairs; upholstered benches and occasional tables.
Lange joins 119 others in the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame Foundation. Lange was inducted on October 20th in High Point, North Carolina.
