Dauphin is the leading provider of innovative furnishing solutions for dynamic spaces. Friedrich-Wilhelm Dauphin founded Dauphin in 1969 in a small town in Bavaria, Germany, as a specialist in ergonomic office seating. Inspired by research forecasting a sharp rise in the use of computers in the workplace, Dauphin set out to build a company that offered high quality ergonomic seating and cutting ed
ge technology at reasonable prices. In 1979, Dauphin began distributing ergonomic seating in the United States through the importer Charvoz and in 1993 acquired 100 percent ownership of the North American seating operations. Today, Dauphin services the NAFTA markets from factories located in New Jersey and Ontario, Canada. With worldwide sales exceeding $200-million and daily production of more than 4,000 units, we now sell Dauphin chairs in over 50 countries around the world through our global partners. Our highly prized ISO-9001 and ISO-14001 certificates evidence recognition of Dauphin's product and service quality.
