The Amalfi Story

amalfi-living-robert-howard-shakespeare

At Amalfi Living, craftsmanship isn’t just a tradition, it’s a legacy. Since our founding in 1955, we’ve remained true to our mission: to create heirloom-quality outdoor furniture, made by hand, one piece at a time.

In the early years, we imported our collections directly from Italy, drawing inspiration from timeless European design. By the 1970s, our American craftsmen had so closely mirrored that level of artistry that we brought production stateside, allowing for greater input in the design process while preserving the old-world quality we’re known for. Today, many of our artisans are second-generation Amalfi Master Craftsmen, continuing a tradition of meticulous, handcrafted excellence.

Amalfi Living is led by Robert Howard, Owner and Chief Furniture Designer. With decades of experience overseeing design and production in award-winning interior and furniture companies, Robert brings a discerning eye for form, function, and enduring style. Under his direction, each Amalfi piece reflects a blend of heritage, innovation, and timeless outdoor elegance.

We also lovingly remember Shakespeare, Robert’s loyal Wire-Haired Pointing Griffon and the beloved face of our catalog for many years. Though he’s no longer with us, his spirited presence remains part of the Amalfi story — a symbol of the joy, loyalty, and charm we hope our pieces bring to your outdoor living spaces.
