BDI Driven By Design 40 anniversary cin12


1984–2024


Four Decades of Design

And we're just getting started.

 


In 1984, industrial designer Bill Becker founded BDI with a profound belief that great design should captivate and fundamentally enhance the way we live. Forty years later, BDI stands as a living testament to this vision. 

At BDI, we believe furniture should do more than look good—it should improve the quality of everyday life. 

From our inception, we've believed in the transformative power of design. Our mission goes beyond furnishing spaces; we strive to elevate them to new heights. We're here to make your space a little more awesome, one piece of furniture at a time. With each creation, we strive to push the boundaries of what's possible, infusing every piece with innovation, functionality, and timeless style.

Learning to expect something more.


BDI home theater systems don’t just house your devices; they celebrate them with the rhythm of modern life.

Our office solutions aren’t simply a place to work; they are a space for inspiration and productivity.

Our tables serve more than just coffee; they surprise with versatile storage and unexpected functionality.

Always trying something new.


BDI's evolution is marked by numerous industry 'firsts' such as pioneering TV stands with integrated wheels, the first cabinetry intended for flat panel TVs, and cutting-edge furniture for soundbars. Our relentless pursuit of purposeful yet straightforward solutions drives us to continually enhance our products' functionality.

Our ongoing innovation is showcased in our recent expansion into the bedroom category, where we've once again broken the norms with unexpected functionality and versatility.

Attention to detail is our language.

Every element of our designs is meticulously conceived and thoughtfully engineered. Crafted with passion and packaged with care, our furniture reflects the dedication of our craftsmen and our commitment to sustainability. BDI builds furniture to last a lifetime.

Practical engineering defines our furniture; adjustable shelves, acoustically transparent doors, fingerprint-proof glass, and clever cord management aren't luxuries—they are standard.

It's not just about style; it's about enhancing your life.

Where design comes to life.

This commitment to detail doesn't stop with our products; it's woven into the fabric of our company and is the heartbeat of BDI. From customer service to operations, each element of the company reflects the unwavering dedication to excellence integrated into the brand.

We call it "sweating the details," but you can just call it "getting it right."

 

 

 

This year marks our 40th anniversary—a celebration not just of the years gone by but of the enduring partnerships that have shaped BDI. Our journey has been a testament to the belief that great design is where function, innovation, and style converge. BDI has never been about design for design's sake; it's about crafting solutions that stand the test of time.   


      

Thank you!

Please join us as we celebrate the countless moments and spaces we've had the privilege to help shape over the past 40 years.

Thank you to the hundreds of partners and thousands of customers who have taught us along the way.
