Tommy Mac Opens First Boston Showroom Featuring Handcrafted Furniture

Tommy MacDonald opens first Boston showroom featuring handcrafted furniture. Former PBS host showcases rockers, armchairs & stools made in Massachusetts. Opens Oct 16 at 155 Federal St.

This development matters because it represents a growing movement toward supporting local artisans and sustainable craftsmanship in an era of mass-produced furniture. For consumers, it offers access to heirloom-quality pieces built to last generations rather than disposable items, while preserving traditional woodworking techniques that might otherwise be lost. The showroom creates economic opportunities for Massachusetts makers and strengthens community identity through locally sourced products. Additionally, it provides educational value by allowing people to connect directly with craftspeople and understand the artistry behind functional objects, fostering appreciation for quality over quantity in home furnishings.
