Bissman Furniture Catalogue from 1959!

In an era of disposable furniture and mass production, Bissman Furniture represents something increasingly rare: pieces built to last generations. The solid walnut construction, dovetail joinery, and attention to detail that characterized every Bissman piece stands in stark contrast to much of today's furniture industry.

For furniture enthusiasts and collectors, Bissman pieces offer a tangible connection to a time when craftsmanship mattered more than profit margins, and when a single artisan could create furniture that would be cherished for decades. These pieces don't just furnish a room—they tell the story of American craftsmanship, regional pride, and the enduring appeal of well-made furniture.

Carl Bissman's transition from architect to furniture maker may have been prompted by the circumstances of war, but his legacy lives on in every carefully crafted joint, every smooth finish, and every piece of solid Ozarkian walnut that continues to grace homes across the country. In the world of mid-century modern furniture, Bissman Furniture stands as a testament to the idea that true quality never goes out of style.
