More than 23 years ago, Charlie traded in life on the road for a home base at IMS, bringing with him a deep well of experience in high-end furniture and a knack for spotting the extraordinary. His vision? A fresh take on casual traditional furnishings—classic, but with a twist. Francis King would be a place where the unexpected felt right at home.

From day one, the approach was different. No doors on the office. The kitchen as the heart of the space. Music that set the mood—lively, unpredictable, and never what you'd expect in a showroom. The people? Seasoned, talented, and driven by passion rather than commission. At Francis King, the goal was never just to sell furniture; it was to help people find exactly what they were looking for—even if they didn’t know it yet.

Fast forward to today, and that same philosophy still holds strong. With a deep wealth of industry experience, the Francis King team has traveled the world, scoured markets, and built relationships with the best in the business. They know style. They know quality. They know the kind of people worth doing business with. And most importantly, they’re here to help—because great design starts with great conversation.
