Heller is a design-forward American furniture company founded in 1971 to bring bold, intelligent design into everyday life. The company launched with Massimo and Lella Vignelli’s now-iconic stackable dinnerware, an enduring classic that set the tone for Heller’s approach: minimalist forms, vibrant color, lasting function, and accessible modernism.

For over 50 years, Heller has partnered with visionary designers including Mario Bellini, Frank Gehry, Philippe Starck, and Hlynur Atlason to create furniture and housewares celebrated in homes, museums, and design-savvy spaces worldwide. Every piece is crafted with durability and joy in mind, using recyclable and regenerative materials built to last.

Heller’s presence in the Litchfield Hills reflects its commitment to design with purpose. The company operates its warehouse in New Milford and maintains meaningful ties to Kent through COO Andrew McPhee, co-founder of The Kent Collection, a group of boutique accommodations where Heller pieces are thoughtfully integrated throughout. A curated selection is also available at The Morrison Gallery in downtown Kent, where Heller’s iconic forms are featured alongside incredible art. These local connections reflect Heller’s belief that great design is not only global but also rooted in community and lived experience.

Under the leadership of McPhee and CEO John Edelman, Heller continues to innovate through the introduction of sustainable materials like Worry Free Plastics™ and collaborations with emerging voices such as Anna Dawson and JUMBO Studio. With a legacy built on clarity, function, and timeless design, Heller is proud to join the Kent Chamber of Commerce and contribute to a creative community that values design as a way of life
