Products

With three locations on University Avenue, The Century House features a broad range of high-quality, beautiful furniture and accessories. Scandinavian Design is our passion and we are able to offer items found no where else in Madison. For example, here you can find the incredibly comfortable Ekornes recliners, a wide array of Marimekko accessories and unique lighting by Norman. Whether you're looking for a new sofa, a gift for a loved one, or a little something special to make your home beautiful, our friendly staff will help you find exactly what you are looking for!

Philosophy

The Century House has been a local family business for over 60 years, and we are staying true to our roots by increasing our focus on local artists. Our stores feature lovely jewelry, accessories, cutting boards, artwork and stationary hand-crafted by prominent Madison and Wisconsin artists. We believe good design enriches our daily lives, whether it comes from Scandinavia or from talented individuals right here in Madison.

History

Starting as a pottery studio in 1948, The Century House has been a fixture in Madison for over 60 years. Started by Jane and Max Howell, The Century House has remained a family business throughout its long history. Today, The Century House is proud to offer three locations. The original studio has become a gift shop which features the best of Scandinavian, American and local accessories and gifts. Our furniture store opened in the 1970s and features beautiful Modern and Scandinavian furniture in a comfortable, welcoming setting. Our newest addition is The Century House Home & Office. There, you can find even more furniture and accessories to fill all your home and office needs.
