“We couldn't have done this project without LEE Industries,” Mulholland says. “The pieces we selected from their comprehensive upholstery catalog feature prominently in every room, connecting them through both materiality and color.” A set of LEE Industries chairs in the office’s main workspace, for example, are heightened with Zak+Fox fabric and Clarence House piping. In the Library, LEE chairs upholstered in Clarence House mohair add a clubby richness that invites lingering with a laptop or magazine in hand. Each piece showcases the brand's impeccable craftsmanship—think precisely tailored seams, sculptural legs, and frames engineered with geometric exactness—while the understated forms of the furniture allow the fabrics to stand out. Refinement is part of the LEE Industries legacy. For more than half a century, the company has balanced traditional furniture craftsmanship with modern sensibility. Every piece is built by hand—the work of more than six hundred skilled associates who bring meticulous attention to the type of details that often go unnoticed: the contour of a leg, the careful tension of hand tufting.

In the new Charleston headquarters of Garden & Gun, interior designer Martha Mulholland approached the space the way an editor approaches a great Southern story: with an appreciation for craft and an eye for detail. Rather than relying on statement pieces alone, she conveyed much of the office’s visual language through upholstery, adding texture, pattern, and comfort via LEE Industries furnishings. For Mulholland, the goal was to animate the workspace with the tactile richness of textiles. LEE Industries, long known for its custom, North Carolina–crafted upholstery, offered the canvas she needed—an expansive range of silhouettes and furniture options onto which she could reflect the editorial spirit of G&G.

It is a level of production Mulholland knew would support the visual complexity of the fabrics she selected. Upholstered benches and sofas become opportunities to introduce botanical prints, and woven textures that echo the magazine’s celebration of Southern landscapes. In quieter workspaces, the fabrics shift toward more subdued tones, creating a sense of calm while still being visually rich. The flexibility of customization proved essential to this balance. “Their collection is beautifully made and endlessly customizable,” Mulholland says, “which helped us control costs and solve challenging site conditions”. With the ability to tailor everything from upholstery and detailing to comfort, Mulholland could fine-tune each piece to its environment. The result is a space where editors, designers, and storytellers can gather comfortably and dream up stories that, like their surroundings, capture a distinct sense of place.
