Thos. Moser is a furniture manufacturer based in Auburn, Maine, where the company has operated its workshop, call center and showroom since 1987. The company builds seating, tables, desks, casegoods, beds and accessories from solid North American hardwoods, and states that each piece is signed by the person who made it.
The company began making furniture in 1972, with every piece then custom built for an individual with a specific need; it continues to offer custom pieces on request. The custom program is published: a $200 design deposit covers drawings and is credited to the order, a sales associate works with the in-house product design team, and once drawings are approved a custom piece generally takes about two to four weeks longer to build than a standard piece. The company states it can modify length, width and height, customize drawers and shelving to precise requirements, and substitute almost any American hardwood.
A separate contract arm, Thos. Moser Contract, designs and makes furniture for hospitality, corporate and educational environments. The company also runs a "Customer in Residence" program — a weeklong immersion in which participants build a piece alongside a master craftsperson, starting at $9,000 including a $4,000 minimum project price.
Retail showrooms operate in Freeport, ME; Boston, MA; Washington, DC; and San Francisco, CA. A trade program serves designers. Products carry a lifetime warranty against compromises in craft and materials quality.
