We could title this salute “local man does well”, because indeed, it is so. From the pastoral hills of northern Wayne County came a man with an inventive mind and a vision to create some of the most innovative furniture in use today. David Boyce, founder of Boyce Products Ltd., has directed the growth of his company from a small millwork business operating out of a garage to a national company with renown clients such as CNN, National Geographic, American Museum of Natural History, and Paramount Pictures.
Boyce Products manufactures custom contract furniture. The company’s ability to identify a need, and provide a solution by integrating the functional aspects of furniture with technological advancements, has resulted in several patents, including BoyceWal™ System (a movable wall system which combines custom glass with solid hardwood), Trino™ table (a table system made of a single repeated component capable of creating a table of many sizes and shapes), and Tablevue™ (a pop-up system for monitors and power systems).
Boyce Products recently opened a full-service showroom and designer gallery in the New York Design Center located in Manhattan. The new office has become their national sales hub and is the natural extension of the local manufacturing operations. Most of the company’s sales are generated from designers and repeat clients which results in high profile national clients such as AOL, National Geographic, American Museum of Natural History, Paramount Pictures, as well as many corporate executive offices and board rooms.
A prime example of Boyce workmanship is the interior of the CNN American Morning show at Rockefeller Center in New York. The project required building very special desks, tables and fixtures with a rotating stage that incorporated computer controlled walls that moved around the stage.
Boyce Products currently employs 25 people in their 20,000 square foot manufacturing facility. According to David Boyce, the biggest asset at “Boyce” is the team of employees creating their unique and innovative products. The company plans to maintain a personal and local presence doing residential work through DB Cabinets, a division of Boyce Products Ltd.
The beauty of Boyce Products is often reserved for their clients. However, the next time you are taking in the morning news on CNN, take a look at the surroundings. Chances are what you see was created here, in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Source: 2003 Innovator of the Year Program |
