About Chaffee Associates

Specialists in the details, not just the deal

Since 2001, Chaffee Associates has been the trusted bridge between the Southwest's architectural and design community and the manufacturers who set the standard for contract furniture and textiles.

What sets us apart: founder Kathleen Chaffee is an interior designer by education and trade. She doesn't just represent product lines — she understands the design process from the inside. That means sharper product recommendations, faster problem-solving on the spec, and a true collaborative partner at the table.

We represent six carefully curated lines — each selected for design integrity, quality, and suitability across Corporate, Educational, Hospitality, Healthcare, Multi Family, and Retail environments. Based in Phoenix, we maintain hands-on relationships with architectural firms, interior designers, and office furniture dealers throughout Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and El Paso, Texas.

Kathleen Chaffee
Founder & Principal · Interior Designer
Designer by Training
Kathleen holds a formal background in interior design — she evaluates product through a designer's lens, not a sales lens. That's a difference you'll feel every time you work with us.
Innovative Design
We represent lines at the forefront of contract design — manufacturers who collaborate with world-class designers and push what's possible in commercial interiors.
Great Service
We show up for the hard parts — from early spec through installation. Responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the outcome of your project.
Seamless Experience
One trusted partner across furniture, seating, and textiles. We coordinate across all six lines so you spend less time managing vendors and more time designing.
