The Archivist furniture collection is an engaging blend of old meets new, past meets present and classic meets current.
A perfect example of “the new traditional,” Archivist furnishings blend the beauty of classic silhouettes and rich wood finishes with the functionality that today’s lifestyles demand.
Archivist: Traditional with a Twist

Nothing says everyday elegance better than the timeless character of the Archivist Collection.
To celebrate the debut of this larger-than-life collection in retail stores, special savings are being offered during the month of March at participating retailers on Archivist furnishings.
Storage, Storage and More Storage
The only thing better than a plush leather ottoman is one like this with a storage shelf underneath. Photo: Hooker Furniture.
As the mother of two children under eight, I’m always looking for places to stash toys, stack books and hide action figures. It doesn’t matter how great a piece of furniture looks, if it doesn’t match my lifestyle, it’s not a good fit for my home.
Now You See It…
This tufted Archivist ottoman fits my living room—and my family—better than a traditional cocktail table. The only thing better than a plush leather ottoman is one like this with a storage shelf underneath.
In my design dreams, it’s styled with coffee table books stacked neatly underneath. In reality, it’s actually covered with a menagerie of toys, a single small sock and the remote we frequently misplace.

Now You See It…
The Archivist Scroll-Leg Console table is always in style, and this one from Archivist is no exception. Perfect fro an entryway or behind a sofa, it can turn an empty space into a design moment.

The best part of the Archivist console table is what you don’t see–a hidden drop-front drawer (that can be used for storing everything from keys to a computer to a computer keyboard). Photo: Hooker Furniture.
Endless Functionality
My favorite furnishings are those that are as functional as they are fashionable. The designers who created the Archivist collection included thoughtful details in every piece to make everyday tasks simpler.
Styled to look like a classic writing desk, this piece is packed with features such as a leather top, a drop-front keyboard drawer, a file drawer, a utility drawer with writing slide, a pencil tray and removable dividers, wire management and a false bottom for hidden storage.
Who says there’s nothing exciting about a dresser?
In addition to generous storage, the Archivist Bureau features a pullout media drawer, a felt-lined top drawer and a cedar-lined bottom drawer.
Truly Timeless Style
While design trends come and go, I prefer furnishings that have a timeless quality. I covet functionality in my furniture, but I revere classic design.

Wearing a timeworn Toffee finish, the Archivist Etagere is one of my favorite pieces. It’s a stylish storage option that can be dressed up or down, and would work equally well in nearly any room of my home.
The updated traditional furnishings of Archivist blend the beauty of classic silhouettes and rich wood finishes with the functionality that today’s lifestyles demand.
